PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF OXIDIZED STARCH, OXIDIZED STARCH AND ITS USE.

摘要

Batch process for the manufacture of oxidized starch by contacting an aqueous medium comprising already oxidized starch with native starch and with at least one oxidizing agent selected from a peroxide compound or from an alkali metal hypochlorite, and by reacting them at a temperature below the gelatinization temperature of the native starch and of the oxidized starch, the reaction being conducted in the presence of a homogeneous manganese-based complex coordination catalyst when the oxidizing agent is a peroxide compound. The resulting oxidized starch can be used as an additive for the paper industry or for the food industry.
