Evaluation of CPI Starch for Laundry Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method to refine corn produces highly pure corn protein isolate (CPI) and intact granular starches (CPI starch). The CPI starch is superior to other commercial starches because of its intact membrane. This paper reports on the effectiveness of the CPI starch in laundering applications by comparison with a commercial starch and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Influence of the different starch materials on fabric mechanical properties was examined using the Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabrics (KES-FB) and ASTM and AATCC standard methods. Potential cost savings of using the CPI starch in the laundry industry were assessed. Results indicated that the CPI starch was more effective and economical than the commercial starch as a stiffening agent for the laundry industry with potential savings of at least 33%. Its excellent film forming ability also contributed to dimlnishing impairment of extensibility, compressibility, and surface properties of textiles by starching.

The catalytic oxidation of biomass to new materials focusing on starch, cellulose and lignin
Biomass is a renewable class of materials of growing interest amongst researchers aiming to achieve global sustainability. This review focuses on the homogeneous catalysis of the oxidation of biomass, in particular starch, cellulose and lignin. Often such catalytic reactions lead to depolymerisation of the material as happens in Nature with for example brown rot fungi. This depolymerisation can...

This study aims to evaluate the link between economic growth and consumer price index (CPI) in Japan for the period of 1980-2014. Initial series were adjusted for stationarity using the Augmented Dickey- Fuller (ADF) test for unit root followed by the application of Johansen Co-integration Test in order to examine the long-run relationship among the variables, while the causalities were evaluat...
متن کاملEvaluation of Biopolymers Effect on In vitro Biocompatibility Property of Nano Hydroxyl Apatite Composites
In this work, we report the effect of biopolymers (starch and gelatin) on in vitro biocompatibility property of nano hydroxyapatite (nHAp) composites. Cell culture and MTT assays were performed for in vitro biocompatibility. They show that nHAp can affect the proliferation of cells and the nHAp-starch and nHAP-gelatin biocomposites have no negative effect on the cell morphology, viability and p...
