978-1-4398-5116-6 (ISBN)
Topics discussed include:
The chemistry, microstructure, processing, and enzymatic degradation of starch
The importance and role of starch as a gelling agent
Plasticization and the role of plasticizers
Various rheological techniques applied to starch-related products and the characteristics of starch dispersions
Polymeric aspects of reactive extrusion (REX) and its use on starch and other biopolymers
Cyclodextrins (CDs) and their industrial applications, and CD-based supramole and polymers
The potential of starch in food packaging, edible packaging, feedstock for bioproducts, and industrial and consumer products
The theoretical basis and derivation of the mathematical model for multicomponent systems and its solution algorithm
The book also explores recent progress in biodegradable starch-based hybrids and nanomaterials and the incorporation of nanoparticles in starches to enhance their mechanical and thermal properties. The book concludes by discussing the use of biopolymeric nanoparticles (BNPs) in drug delivery and life cycle assessment (LCA) of starch-based polymeric materials for packaging and allied applications.
With contributions from leading experts in academia and industry, this volume demonstrates the versatility of starch and its potential in a variety of applications.
