Abstract:
Starch is an abundant natural, non-toxic, biodegradable polymer. Due to its low price, it is used for various purposes in various fields such as the cosmetic, paper, and construction industries as well as the food industry. Due to recent consumer interest in clean label materials, physically modified starch is attracting attention. Manufacturing methods of physically modified starch include pregelatinization, hydrothermal treatment such as heat moisture treatment and annealing, hydrostatic pressure treatment, ultrasonic treatment, milling, and freezing. In this study, toward development of clean label materials, manufacturing methods and characteristics of physically modified starches were discussed.
