Study of quantitative interactions of potato and corn starch granules with ions in diluted solutions of heavy metal salts

Study of complexes formation between transition metal ions and amylopectin in DMSO/H2O solution

“…The study by Nikolić et al on metal complexes of dextran exemplifies the influence of the counter‐ions in the complexation. In more recent research, Szymónska et al discuss the influence of anions in starch complexes with heavy metal salts. The complexation reaction involving biopolymers is quite limited by the time factor because the concentration, the size of the metal ion, and the high molecular weight of amylopectin influence the extent of chemical balance in complexation, where in some cases, it is necessary to allow more time for the formation of the complexes.…”

“…Functional polymers with chelating abilities have been widely found in the field of separation and recovery of metal ions . The removal of metal ions from waste is a major issue nowadays, due to the non‐degradability of these metals .…”

What makes starch from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers unique: A review

“…The high level of phosphate ester groups in PS AP imparts it with high ability to bind cations (Blennow et al., 2006; Szymońska, Molenda, & Wieczorek, 2015; Zaidul et al., 2007). PS pasting properties are greatly influenced by cations associated with the phosphate ester groups and their ability to undergo complete ion exchange (Bergthaller, 2004; Takahashi & Wada, 1992).…”

Structural Disorganization and Chain Aggregation of High-Amylose Starch in Different Chloride Salt Solutions

“…Previous studies have shown that coordinated complexes may form between starch chains and some metal cations since the positively charged cations can be paired with the isolated charges on the oxygen atoms of starch hydroxyl groups. [42][43][44][45] Therefore, the nanoparticles observed could be considered as a form of starch-metal cation complexes, which can stabilize starch chains in the solution.…”
