Modified starches are used widely in the food industry but often have a low nutritional value, lacking minerals vital for human body, such as magnesium. Magnesium addition to native has been shown result changes pasting properties. However, little work done on of magnesium and other divalent cations highly oxidised starches. In this work, we dibasic hypochlorite (DMH) oxidise potato starch an i...

The current review presents the potential chemical modifications and applications of sweet potato starch in food non-food industries. Native general particularly characteristics have several functional features biomedicine as well industry. Modified is expected to enhance such discussed this review. For instance, due polymeric branching nature starch; usually less soluble, absorbs water oil, sh...

Starch is widely used in the food and non-food industries, this related to its physicochemical characteristics. In coming years, climate changes will become unpredictable, these conditions may affect process of starch biosynthesis polymer properties. The sweet potato market has grown substantially recent years understanding environmental impacts on characteristics contribute advances for sector...

Potato starch offers several unique properties essential for nutrition, and numerous non-nutritional applications. First of all, it is the sole native starch of anionic character. For that reason, potato starch combines, for instance, with proteins forming various complexes considered as potential biodegradable plastics. Potato starch is, practically, the sole starch variety containing a consid...

Different starch properties may cause alterations in the foodstuff’s external appearance. However, modification processes starches are usually secretive. The use of chemically modified is regulated by international standards, which makes it important to identify its presence and type. Mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIR)-modified starches’ identification can be hindered excess glucose. This research...

Starch is a versatile food component with several industrial applications. Its chemically altered derivatives provide wide range of high-tech applications in the and non-food markets. Altered starches are intended to compensate for one or more native starches' drawbacks, such as decrease viscosity hardening ability during processing preservation, especially at low pH, syneresis, retrogradation ...

Starch structure strongly influences starch physicochemical properties, determining the end uses of starch in various applications. To produce starches with novel structure and exploit the mechanism of starch granule formation, an (engineered) 4, 6-α-glucanotransferase (GTFB) from Lactobacillus reuteri 121 was introduced into two potato genetic backgrounds: amylose-containing line Kardal and am...
