Kinetics and thermodynamics studies on thermal degradation of differently treated starch nanoparticles and estimation of the OH groups and H2O content on particle surface
Abstract:The low thermodynamics and thermal decomposition kinetics properties of native starch (NS) make it unsuitable for use in food industries. Whether these properties are improved after converting the starch into nanoparticles (StNP) using ultrasonication treatment (UST), high-pressure homogenization (HPH), and StNP enrichment with carotenoids are investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The onset melting temperature and peak temperature of both peaks for HPH, UST and carot… Show more
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.
