advanced starch modification emerging (2 Ergebnisse)

Zustand: New.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book comprehensively reviews the advanced modification techniques of starch and applications in food packaging and 3D/4D printing. The initial chapter provides an overview of the primary sources of starch, including cereals, tubers, and roots, and discusses global trends in starch production and consumption. The book examines the molecular architecture of starch granules and their inherent functional properties. It covers traditional chemical, enzymatic, and biotechnological modification methods, alongside innovative techniques such as nanotechnology, microwave, cold plasma, and ultrasound treatments. Additionally, the book presents the development of smart starches and starch nanoparticles, discussing their extraction, modification, characterization, and applications, particularly in food packaging and 3D/4D printing. The book also explores responsive and smart starches that change properties in response to environmental stimuli, discussing their development and applications. Towards the end, the book presents the functional and nutritional benefits of modified starches, as well as their regulatory and safety aspects. This book is an important resource for researchers, industry professionals, and students in food science, materials science, and biotechnology.
