| Abstract: | In this study, a corn starch was acetylated with acetic anhydride under alkaline conditions to produce different degrees of substitution. Experimental analyses were performed to investigate the effect of acetylation on a range of starch properties and compare them with those of native corn starch and a commercially available acetylated corn starch. The data obtained, and the observations made in this study will be of value to other researchers in this field, and to food manufacturers wishing to modify corn starch-based foods by acetylation. |
