Abstract:Granules of potato starch and amylopectin potato starch were methylated in aqueous alkaline suspension. Here, an overview is given of all structural aspects that have been studied with respect to the determination of the location of the substituents. Methods, which are generally applicable, were developed for the separation of different areas of derivatised starch granules, followed by determination of the substitution level. For methylated starch granules it was found that methyl groups are predominantly pres… 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.
