Starch derivatives: production and uses
TL;DR: The derivatization of starch is conducted to modify the gelatinization and cooking characteristics of granular starch; to decrease the retrogradation and gelling tendencies of amylose-containing starches; to increase the water-holding capacity of starch dispersions at low temperature thereby minimizing syneresis; to enhance hydrophilic character; to impart hydrophobic properties; and/or to introduce ionic substituents.
