Carboxymethyl starch (CMS) could find application in many areas of industry. A review of synthesis methods of medium and high substituted CMS was presented. The influence of synthesis parameters on degree of substitution (DS) as well as reaction efficiency was described. The methodology of CMS physicochemical properties determination as well as the relation between CMS chemical characteristics (e.g. DS, amylose/amylopectin ratio) and its physicochemical properties was presented. Moreover, reported CMS applications were submitted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
