Abstract:<p>The objective of this study was to esterification cassava starch with stearic acid, to obtain starches with emulsifying properties, stabilizing and encapsulant of oleic acid. The cassava starch was treated with stearic acid in an alkaline medium (pH 8.0, 9.0, 11.0 and 13.0) and catalyzed by microwave radiation, to obtain the saturated ester starch. The percentage of esterification and degree of substitution (DS), the swelling power and solubility, the apparent viscosity of gels, emulsifying activity a… Show more
