Abstract: | Wheat starch was cross-linked at 40 °C and pH 11.0 by slurrying the starch (30% solids) in a solution of sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP), sodium hydroxide, and sodium sulfate. The extent of cross-linking was determined by an increase in alkaline fluidity or by a decrease in alkaline clarity. Response surface analysis showed that cross-linking increased with increasing levels of STMP (0.5-1.5%, based on starch, bos) and sodium sulfate (0–4.0%, bos) over a reaction period of 120–720 min. A regression equation with first and second order terms showed that STMP and sodium sulfate concentrations and the reaction time accounted for 99% of the variability in alkaline fluidity. Wheat starch (37% slurry) was hydroxypropylated by reaction with propylene oxide (8%, bos) for 24h at 45 °C in alkali (pH 11.5) containing 16.0% sodium sulfate (bos). The hydroxypropylated (4.5wt%) wheat starch (DS 0.12-0.13) was not isolated but was cross-linked with STMP (0.1-0.5%, bos) over a 10–40 min reaction period. A comparison of pasting curves at pH 3.5 showed that some of the cross-links produced by STMP were less stable than those produced by phosphoryl chloride, indicating a low level of pyrophosphate as well as monophosphate cross-links. The less stable cross-links were diminished by changing reaction conditions with STMP. |
