wheat starch is the most common type of starch in iran as well as many other parts of the world with enormous applications in food and non-food products. to improve its physicochemical properties or create new functionalities, starch can be modified by changing its molecular structure. amongst different methods for starch modification, physical methods have received more attention recently. pre...

Guardeño L.M., Vázquez-Gutiérrez J.L., Hernando I., Quiles A. (2013): Effect of different rice starches, inulin, and soy protein on microstructural, physical, and sensory properties of low-fat, gluten, and lactose free white sauces. Czech J. Food Sci., 31: 575–580. The microstructural, physical, and sensory properties of low-fat sauces made with different rice starches, soy protein ,and inulin ...

in this study, precipitated calcium carbonate (pcc) was modified using cationic starch, and its effect on optical and physical properties of paper was examined in comparison with unmodified filler afterwards. to determine the filler retention in paper, both modified and unmodified fillers were added to pulp suspensions by 20, 30, and 40 percentages. for comparing the utilization effect of modif...

in this study, the usage of starch as adhesives in packaging industry and improving the properties of starch on the development of its applications have been discussed. starch is widely used in various industries, but in the celluloses packaging industry it can be just used as a coating binder, sizing agent or adhesive industries. in these industries, high print quality, low water absorption an...

The présent works aims to develop controlled release matrix tablet of diclofenac sodium with modified starch cross linked starch urea as an sustained release polymer and to evaluate the prepared dosage form for physical parameters like weight variation, hardness, friability and drug content. Cross linked starch urea is modified starch introducing desirable alterations in the starch structure so...

Recently natural polysaccharides have been developed as environmentally friendly materials for removing toxic pollutants from aqueous solutions. Amongst numerous polysaccharides starch is an abundant, inexpensive, renewable and fully biodegradable natural raw material. The main criterion in the design of modified starch with substantial stability is fast complexation of toxic pollutants. A new ...

BACKGROUND Natural polymers serve as cheap, non-toxic, biocompatible excipients in drug delivery. OBJECTIVES Starch from wheat (Triticum aestivum) was investigated as a disintegrant in metronidazole tablet formulations in comparison with sodium starch glycolate (SSG), a standard, synthetic but relatively more expensive disintegrant. MATERIAL AND METHODS Native wheat starch (NAS) was modifie...

A binary mixture of starch-starch or starch with other biopolymers such as protein and non-starch polysaccharides could provide a new approach in producing starch-based food products. In the context of food processing, a specific adjustment in the rheological properties plays an important role in regulating production processing and optimizing the applicability, stability, and sensory of the fi...
