Abstract:Electron beam irradiation is one of the most effective starch modification methods. Moisture is one of the factors that is affected by the irradiation via the free radical formation. The effect of the moisture content on the technological properties of irradiated starch samples was studied. The moisture content of corn starch samples in this study was adjusted at 9.08, 12.96, 15.06, 20.39 and 29.09% (w w). Corn starch samples were irradiated at 5 kGy. Color, free acid, solubility, swelling, transparency, syner… Show more
