  2. Starch production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch_production

    Dewatering of refined starch milk is carried out in two stages. In the first stage the excess water is removed by means of a rotary vacuum filter. Secondly moist starch is dried, without starch pasting. For this purpose a pneumatic dryer is used. In this device moist starch (with water content 36 – 40%) is floating in strong and hot (160 °C ...

  3. Starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch

    Rice starch as surface treatment of paper has been used in paper production in China since 700 CE. [10] In the mid eighth century production of paper that was sized with wheat starch started in the Arabic world. [11] Laundry starch was first described in England in the beginning of the 15th century and was essential to make 16th century ruffed ...

  4. Alkyl polyglycoside - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyl_polyglycoside

    The raw materials are typically starch and fat, and the final products are typically complex mixtures of compounds with different sugars comprising the hydrophilic end and alkyl groups of variable length comprising the hydrophobic end. [2] When derived from glucose, they are known as alkyl polyglucosides.

  5. Starch gelatinization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch_gelatinization

    Damaged starch can be produced, for example, during the wheat milling process, or when drying the starch cake in a starch plant. [5] There is an inverse correlation between gelatinization temperature and glycemic index. [4] High amylose starches require more energy to break up bonds to gelatinize into starch molecules.

  6. Potato starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_starch

    To extract the starch, the potatoes are crushed, and the starch grains are released from the destroyed cells. The starch is then left to settle out of solution or separated by hydrocyclones, then dried to powder. Potato starch contains typical large oval spherical granules ranging in size from 5 to 100 μm. Potato starch is a refined starch ...

  7. Dry milling and fractionation of grain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_milling_and...

    Lower concentration of starch, protein, fiber, and oil relative to wet milling; The most utilized grinding mills include pin, hammer, and disk mills, but many machines are utilized for more specific processes. To maintain a high starch extraction, the grains will go through a degermination process. This process removes the germ and fiber ...

  8. Landang - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landang

    Landang is a processed starch product extracted from the inner trunk of the buli or buri tree [1] , a type of palm native to the Philippines and other tropical countries. This tree only flowers once in its life and then dies. Landang is visually similar to shrunken, flattened sago.

  9. Plastarch material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastarch_material

    Plastarch Material (PSM) is a biodegradable, thermoplastic resin. It is composed of starch combined with several other biodegradable materials. The starch is modified in order to obtain heat-resistant properties, making PSM one of few bioplastics capable of withstanding high temperatures.
