What is Oxidation of Starch about?

Starch is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in plants. Due to its compact structure, renewability, and low cost, it is used in various industries such as food products, textiles, adhesives, paper making, and glass fiber sizing. Modified starches are used in tabletting, cosmetic formulations, and biodegradable plastics. Nondigestible starch is also being explored as a new application in nutraceuticals. However, native starches have limited functionality due to retrogradation and syneresis, as well as poor processability, solubility, and thermal stability. These properties can hinder their practical use. The characteristics of starch are predominantly impacted by the proportion of amylose to amylopectin, the average chain length of these two molecules, and how amylopectin is arranged within the semi-crystalline regions of starch granules. Since natural starches do not possess optimal features for industrial use, the molecular makeup of amylose and amylopectin can be altered via physical, chemical, enzymatic, or a combination of these methods. These modifications enhance the positive attributes, reduce the defects, and add new traits to native starch, thereby increasing its f
