Abstract:
Worldwide consumption of oats is gaining popularity due to its composition and multifunctional benefits of individual components. Oat starch being the major component accounts up to 60% of the dry weight of kernel, possess small granule size and high lipid content. Properties of starch substantially affect the quality of the product. Modification and characterization of starch is important for their specific applications that increase the utilization of oat starch. Different modification techniques greatly affect the functional, pasting, gelatinisation, textural, rheological, retrogradation properties and enzymatic digestibility of oat starches in comparison to native starch. Modified oat starch competes against other abundant and inexpensive cereal starches (rice and corn) that are available in modified forms in the market. This review summarises the current knowledge of physicochemical, morphological, pasting, functional, rheological and gelatinization properties, developments in the extraction and modification (physical, chemical and enzymatic) and applications of oat starch. Thus, this review will upgrade the scientific basis on oat starch being a unique source of starch for variety of applications.

The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
