Starch: Chemistry and Technology, Second Edition focuses on the chemistry, processes, methodologies, applications, and technologies involved in the processing of starch. The selection first elaborates on the history and future expectation of starch use, economics and future of the starch industry, and the genetics and physiology of starch development. Discussions focus on polysaccharide biosynthesis, nonmutant starch granule polysaccharide composition, cellular developmental gradients, projected future volumes of corn likely to be used by the wet-milling industry, and organization of the corn wet-milling industry. The manuscript also tackles enzymes in the hydrolysis and synthesis of starch, starch oligosaccharides, and molecular structure of starch.The publication examines the organization of starch granules, fractionation of starch, and gelatinization of starch and mechanical properties of starch pastes. Topics include methods for determining starch gelatinization, solution properties of amylopectin, conformation of amylose in dilute solution, and biological and biochemical facets of starch granule structure. The text also takes a look at photomicrographs of starches, industrial microscopy of starches, and starch and dextrins in prepared adhesives. The selection is a vital reference for researchers interested in the processing of starch.

Fifteen years have passed since the last major treatise on starch was published. Since then, knowledge of the molecular and macromolecular structures of starch; exploration of new sources of commercial starch; modification of the properties of starches via chemical, enzymic, genetic, and physical means; and investigations into potential uses of new products have proliferated. The Handbook of Starch Science and Technology explores new developments in starch science and technologies to achieve new paradigms in the development of natural glucose polymers. New developments of starches with enhanced nutritional and health benefits and specialized starch derivatives are discussed in terms of novel applications for the design of functional products and recent developments for structuring starch that have not been covered in the previous literature. Further, it discusses the uses of starch in the manufacture of starch inclusion complexes and nanoparticles and as a key component in carrier delivery applications.Features:Explores the genetics and physiology of starch biosynthesisCovers the source, isolation, structure, and properties of starchesIdentifies the structure and behavior of typical components in starch – amylose, amylopectin, and phytoglycogenIncludes specific information on the modification and application of starch derivativesPresents current and emerging trends for starch science and technologyThis timely guide is for scientists and technologists working in the fields of agriculture, biotechnology, food, pharmaceuticals, chemical engineering, nutrition, and human health.
