Revealing the substituents distribution within starch can help to understand the changes of starch properties after modification. The distribution of substituents over cross-linked and hydroxypropylated sweet potato starch was investigated and compared with modified potato starch. The starches were cross-linked with sodium trimetaphosphate and/or hydroxypropylated with propylene oxide. The native...
Chemical derivatization is often applied to improve polysaccharide functionality. Primary hydroxyl groups in starch can, for example, be oxidized to aldehydes by using a 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-mediated reaction. The major part of the aldehydo groups is subsequently converted to carboxyl groups by NaOCl. The exact structure of TEMPO-oxidized starch was studied to promote a better...
