Native starches show a strong tendency for decomposition and retrogradation Berski et al. Additionally, some starch granules are inert, insoluble in water at room temperature, highly resistant to enzymatic hydrolysis and consequently lacking in functional properties.

Pre-gelatinized starch PGS is starch that has undergone a cooking process until complete gelatinization and a simultaneous or subsequent drying process. Drying methods include drum drying, spray drying and extrusion. The main consequence of this treatment is the destruction of the granular structure, resulting in complete granular fragmentation, and the absence of birefringence properties.

The principal properties of PGS are an increase in swelling capacity, solubility and cold water dispersion. Of the physically modified starches, PGS is primarily used as a thickener in many instantaneous products, such as baby food, soups and desserts, due to its ability to form pastes and dissolve in cold water. The use of PGS is preferred in sensible foods because it does not require heating to form a paste Majzoobi et al.

Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology, 13 2 , Impact of heat-moisture treatment and annealing in starches: a review. Essentially, hydrothermal modification can only occur when starch polymers transition from the amorphous region to the semicrystalline region. Starch in its native form exhibits amylopectin ramifications by forming a double helix chain, and this behavior imparts a crystalline structure to the starch molecule.

Heat treatment involving temperatures between the T g and melting temperature T m may not alter the double helix conformation or degree of starch crystallinity; these conditions are present when starch pastes are drying.

Physical modification of starch performance improves starch paste characteristics such as texture and plasticity by reducing T g and consequently relaxing the hydrogen bonds and polymer-polymer interactions.

Ultrasonics Sonochemistry, 16 4 , Large-scale extraction of starch from cereals such as wheat require grinding.

Substantial granule damage occurs during grinding, and shear forces that compress the granule structure are generated. Damage to the starch granule is visible as cracks in the starch surface. Grinding reduces the crystallinity of the amylopectin molecule and its double helix conformation severely. Fragmentation of the amylopectin molecule eliminates restrictions on the swelling capacity, thereby facilitating subsequent gelatinization.

The easy gelatinization of the starch granules after grinding decreases parameters such as T 0 and enthalpies in the final starch product.

Food and non-food industries expand starch properties and improve them through chemical modifications. Table 3 shows examples of different chemical modifications of starch. Cationic starches are generally produced by reacting starch with compounds containing tertiary or quaternary ammonium, imino, amino, sulfuric or phosphate groups.

Free hydroxyl ions present in the native starch molecule are commonly altered using cationic monomers such as 2,3-epoxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride ETMAC or 3-chlorohydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride CTA in dry or wet processes.

In dry cationic modification, in the absence of a liquid phase, the reactive is sprayed onto the dry starch during extrusion. The semi-dry method for cationization involves a mixture of starch and spray reagent prior to the thermal treatment.

Wet cationization includes a homogeneous reaction with dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO or a heterogeneous reaction in alkaline solution. The physicochemical properties of the starch and granular structure are altered after the cationic process, particularly when the process involves a high degree of substitution. The cationic reaction reduces the paste temperature, increases the viscosity peak and results in various changes in starches from different sources.

Among modified starches, cationic starch materials are preferred by the textile industry because the positive charge introduced in the molecular chains conform to the electrostatic bonds between the negative charges of the cellulose fibers Hubbe, Hubbe, M.
