Commercial high-amylose com, ordinary com and potato starches 'were fully acetyl"ted by reacting the starches at 123°C for 5 h in fourfold quantities of acetic anhydride to which 11 010 (w;'w 5t"rch) of sodium hydroxide catalyst had been added as 50 010 aqueous solution. Intrinsic viscosities of the starches regenerated from their esters 'were slightly lower than the 'values for the correspondi...

This research is aimed at producing alternative starch used for tablet binding from amura tuber. The microbiological load and physicochemical properties of native modified starches were determined using plate counting method standard BP. Amylose amylopectin content spectrophotometric method. Binding disintegrant abilities these studied paracetamol as a model drug. Paracetamol tablets formulated...

Resistant starch has been reported to act as a protective agent against pathogenic organisms in the gut and to encourage the proliferation of beneficial organisms. This study examined the efficacy of acetylated high amylose maize starch (SA) and butyralated high-amylose maize starch (SB) in reducing the severity of necrotic enteritis (NE) in broilers under experimental challenge. A total of 720...

BACKGROUND Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have a role in maintaining bowel health and can assist in the prevention and treatment of colonic disease. The ability of acylated starches to deliver SCFAs to the large bowel has been shown in animal studies but has not been established in humans. OBJECTIVE The aim was to determine whether cooked, highly acylated starches were resistant to small int...
