Amylopectin is a major polymer found in native starch granules and presents wide applicability as a biomaterial because of its low cost and biocompatibility. However, in many cases, the use of polysaccharides with low molecular weight is needed, mainly due to the possibility to produce functionalized nanomaterials, as well as to increase their diffusion quality. An effective technique for reducing...
Traditionally, starch gelatinization has been carried out by heating starch granules in the presence of moisture. This study aims to gelatinize starch using a sodium hydroxide (NaOH)/glycerol solution at room temperature. The experimental results reveal that normal corn starch (NCS), waxy corn starch (WCS), and high amylose corn starch (HAS) gelatinize in NaOH/glycerol (0.75, 0.85, and 1.5/1.0 wt...
