Abstract:
Heat-moisture treatment (HMT) could be applied to increase the relative crystallinity (RC) of raw waxy maize starch (WMS) and mar the dense surface of starch granules. The optimal HMT conditions including temperature, treatment time, and moisture content were determined by response surface methodology (RSM). When the temperature, treatment time, and moisture content were 99.2 °C, 1.8 h, and 18.2%, respectively, the maximum RC of heat-moisture treated starch (HMTS) could reach to 42.44% and more holes, depressions, and cracks appeared on the surface of HMTS. Afterwards, HMTS was subjected to acid hydrolysis to prepare starch nanocrystals (SNCs). It was confirmed that SNCs could be successfully obtained with a hydrolysis time of 4 days and a yield of 26.7%. The results revealed that this method was more effective than conventional sulfuric acid hydrolysis method with a hydrolysis time of 5 days and a yield of 15.7%.

01:15Hydrolysis
Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which the addition of water breaks down a polymer into its simpler monomer units. For example, peptides break into amino acids, carbohydrates into simple sugars, and DNA into nucleotides. Enzymes often facilitate these processes.
Hydrolysis Reverses Dehydration Synthesis
Complex carbohydrates can be broken down by breaking the bonds between individual sugar units. The reaction breaks a glycosidic bond as water is added to the compound. The...

01:01Acid Halides to Carboxylic Acids: Hydrolysis
As shown below, the mechanism involves a nucleophilic attack by water at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This is followed by the reformation of the carbon–oxygen π bond along with the departure of a halide ion. A final proton transfer step yields carboxylic...

Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis:
Hydrolysis of amides under acidic conditions yields carboxylic acids. Since the reaction occurs slowly, hydrolysis requires the conditions of heat.
The mechanism begins with the protonation of the carbonyl oxygen by the acid catalyst. The protonation makes the amide carbonyl carbon more...
