水溶性淀粉 - Names and Identifiers
水溶性淀粉 - Introduction
Water-soluble starch is a starch compound with good solubility. Its main properties include the following:
1. Solubility: Water-soluble starch can quickly dissolve in water and form a transparent solution.
2. Viscosity: The water-soluble starch solution has a certain viscosity and can be used as a thickener or adhesive.
3. Thermal stability: water soluble starch in the heating process to maintain good stability, not easy to decompose.
4. Gelatinization: water-soluble starch will form a gelatinous substance at low temperature, which is often used in the food industry to make jelly, pudding and other products.
Water-soluble starch has a wide range of uses, including the following aspects:
1. Food industry: used as thickener, stabilizer, gelling agent, such as making jelly, ice cream, pasta, etc.
2. Textile industry: used as a textile slurry to increase the softness and gloss of the yarn.
3. Cosmetics and personal care products: used as emulsion stabilizer, moisturizing agent.
4. Pharmaceutical Industry: used as a coating material for capsules or tablets, or as an auxiliary ingredient in the formulation of injection.
The method of preparing water-soluble starch mainly includes:
1. Acid hydrolysis method: by adding acidic substances such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid treatment of starch, so that the hydrolysis reaction, water-soluble starch.
2. Hydrophilic modification method: through a series of chemical modification reactions, such as etherification or esterification reaction, the starch molecules into hydrophilic groups, thereby increasing its water solubility.
3. High temperature method: by heating the starch solution under high temperature conditions, the starch granules are broken and the water solubility is improved.
Regarding the safety information of water-soluble starch, generally speaking, water-soluble starch is a food-grade additive and is considered safe. However, it is still necessary to pay attention to the following points when using:
1. Avoid inhaling dust: When handling water-soluble starch powder, avoid inhaling dust to avoid respiratory discomfort.
2. Avoid contact with eyes or skin: water soluble starch solution may cause irritation to eyes or skin, so avoid direct contact when using.
3. Storage precautions: water soluble starch should be stored in a dry, cool place, away from fire and high temperature environment.
