Abstract:
A white waxy corn starch dextrin produces a paste of excellent color and clarity when compared to waxy corn starch dextrins without the need for bleaching.
Abstract:
By administration of sulfated cyclodextrin on a pregnant mother, the effect of a teratogen on a developing fetus is blocked. Blocking the effect of the teratogen reduces congenital defects in a developing fetus. The sulfated cyclodextrin has also been found to reduce the effect of the teratogen on a host. The sulfated cyclodextrin is administered either before or after onset of organogenesis and either before or after exposure to the teratogen. Teratogens include radiation, temperature extremes, chemicals, drugs, bacteria, viruses, hormones, stress, injury, pregnancy and fatigue.
Abstract:
Branched cyclodextrins are produced by the pyrolysis of cyclodextrins. The temperature range is 135°C to 220°C using equipment suitable for making British gum and other starch dextrins.
Abstract:
Cyclodextrins are refined by performing a crystallization step in the presence of a hydrogen bond inhibitor. The hydrogen bond inhibitor includes a base in a amount to adjust the pH of the solution to 8 and above or a non-base such as urea, guanidium hydrochloride and sodium lauryl sulfate in an amount of 0.1 % to 2 %.
Abstract:
The method for making a reduced fat foodstuff entails replacing at least a portion of the fat and/or oil in the foodstuff with a high amylose starch hydrolysate having an apparent amylose content above about 40% and a DE greater than 5 and less than 15.0. A high amylose corn starch is the preferred starch base.
Abstract:
Branched beta cyclodextrins are purified and separated from solution by passing a solution containing branched beta cyclodextrins through a column containing a matrix on which an inclusion compound has been bound. The process is carried out under ambient conditions at a neutral pH.
Abstract:
Su2 starch produces gels that set firmer and faster than conventional starch gels to include the so-called high amylose starches. Su2 starch also can be used in foodstuff to replace high amylose starch and thin-thick chemically modified starch.
Abstract:
The process entails adding salt in an amount of 1 % to 5 % by weight slurry to an aqueous slurry of cyclodextrin-guest complex at a temperature of 100 DEG C to 150 DEG C for a period of 5 minutes to 2 hours and a pressure of 15 psia to 70 psia to prevent the slurry from boiling and to cause the complex to break apart. The individual cyclodextrin and guest are then recovered.
Abstract:
The starch jelly candy is made with a blend of two starch components, one being an acid converted, high amylose starch having a dry alkaline fluidity of 20 ml to 70 ml and the other being either a thin-boiled common or an oxidized starch. The starch jelly can made with the two starch components has excellent clarity and no tailings. The acid converted starch is made at a very low pH, high temperature and short reaction time.
Abstract:
A cyclodextrin which when added to water produces a haze-free solution is made by the use of starch which contains at least about 90 % amylopectin in a two-stage process wherein first a starch hydrolysate is formed by means of an alpha-amylase or an acid and a second subsequent step wherein the cyclodextrin is formed by means of a cyclodextrin-glycosyl-transferase.
