Preparation of starch esters

Abstract

A review of starch esters prepared from either aqueous or solvent-based reactions leading to high (3.0)- and/or low (<0.2)-degree of substitution (DS) derivatives are discussed. A novel process for making intermediate-DS (0.5–1.8) starch esters from aqueous media is compared to traditional methods.
