The relevancy of the problem of modified starches production is determined by its diversity by raw materials using in manufacture process (banana, chestnut, tapioca, rice, barley, wheat, corn, potato modified starches), by main consumers (food, construction, oil and gas industries), goals of use (production of biodegradable containers, bio-absorbents, micro composites, bio-lubricants, enzyme technology of nanotechnology). The regional relevance of the study problem is based on the need to produce iodized starches for the food industry consumption. Food products produced from these starches will reduce the thyroid gland incidence, at the same time the magnetized wheat starches production will reduce the cardiovascular disease incidence. The analysis of the Russian and world market of modified starches was conducted. The current state and capacity of the world market of modified starches, trends and technology of various modified starches (phosphate, acetate, cationic, cationic cold swelling starches, etc.) production were studied. Results of the study show that Russia’s export of modified starches has a weak potential for growth. Russian market of modified starches demonstrates a tendency of increase the competition between modified starches manufacturers due to the new participants’ entry in the market. Generally it stimulates the import substitution process. The volume of modified starches imports in Russia is associated with the correlation of manufacturers’ prices and expectations of Russia state support for the deepening of domestic agricultural products processing.
Paper analyzes the modern technologies for the modified starches production, as well as their comparative characteristics by production costs, technical and economic indicators of the manufacture process. Study also describes authors’ original technologies for the production of magnesia-enriched and iodized wheat starches by creating mineral substances solutions and their later chemical modification. It considers previous studies by Russian and foreign authors on various technologies for the modified starches production, special attention to the quality of modified starches production from various crops was given.
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.
