Abstract:

A method to prepare non-crystal granular starches from maize starch by alcoholic-alkaline treatment was reported. In the preparation , native starches were first treated with the mixture of ethanol and NaOH solution to swell starch granules. Next , the treated starches were neutralized. After being washed using ethanol solution with certain content , the starches were then dried to form non-crystal granular starches. The structural change of the product was finally observed by means of polarized microscope and XRD. It is concluded that non-crystal granular starches can be prepared by treating the starches in alcoholic-water separating system with alkaline in certain condi-tlons.
