Abstract:
An hydroxypropylated, inhibited high amylose starch is disclosed having specified amounts of hydroxypropylation and inhibition which has excellent thin-thick properties for use in food products to be retorted. The disclosed starches give good texture to the food products in which they are used.
Abstract:
Aqueous slurries or dispersions of starch are reacted with Nhaloacetyl derivatives of selected amines, amino acids or peptides to yield starch ether derivatives. The starch ether derivatives of this invention are useful in a number of applications including use in paper sizes, coatings and adhesives.
