Heavy metal (Cd2+, Ni2+, Pb2+ and Ni2+) adsorption in aqueous solutions by oxidized starches

Superabsorbent materials based on natural products have been synthesized by free radical oxidation of corn starch using a redox system consisting of potassium permanganate and sodium bisulfite. The resulting oxidized starches were characterized by analyzing the variation of carbonyl and carboxyl contents. The swelling ability of these samples has been determined by gravimetric method in water and in saline solutions. The effect of oxidant concentration and bleaching procedure on the water absorption capacity has been studied. The ability to remove heavy metals in water solution has been tested against Cd²⁺, Ni²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions, showing higher percentage of remotion for the unbleached oxidized starches, in particular against nickel ions.

Microgel adhesives for wet cellulose: measurements and modeling

Nanostructured adhesive layers were prepared by adsorbing and/or grafting polyvinylamine (PVAm) onto carboxylated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgels that were then assembled between layers of wet oxidized cellulose. The wet delamination force was measured as functions of PVAm content, PVAm molecular weight, coverage (mass adhesive/joint area), and the distribution of carboxyl groups in the PNIPAM microgels. The use of microgels is attractive because simple physical adsorption onto the cellulose surfaces before lamination gives much higher adhesive content and strength compared to the corresponding adsorbed linear PVAm. Wet adhesion increased with PVAm content in the microgels and the quantity of microgels in the joint whereas adhesion was independent of PVAm molecular weight. Physical adsorption of the PVAm onto/into the microgels gave the same adhesion as covalently coupled PVAm. Finally, the roles of microgel diameter, elasticity, and coverage were simulated by a simple peel adhesion model in which the microgels were treated as ideal springs.     

Fabrication of highly porous starch monoliths and their application as green desiccants

Starch monoliths with oriented porous structures were developed from starches and glycerin as a plasticizer using unidirectional freeze‐drying technology. The morphology of the porous starch monoliths made from different starches was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the porosity, mechanical properties and moisture absorption of the porous materials were evaluated. The results show that porous starch monoliths made from oxidized starch with 15% glycerin had good mechanical strength with the best moisture absorption. Increasing the starch concentration significantly improved their strength and increased the moisture absorption rate as well. The moisture absorption of the porous monolith made from oxidized starch is comparable with commonly used desiccants. The porous starch monoliths can successfully remove water from 95% ethanol to produce absolute ethanol due to their selective absorption for water. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Surface activity of commercial food grade modified starches

An attempt to quantitative evaluation of the functionality of food grade chemically modified starches in the emulsion systems by estimation of their surface activity as well as the capability of thickening food products was the main purpose of this present work. It was stated that chemically modified starches reveal higher surface activity at air/water and toluene/water interfaces in comparison to the native starch. The increase of the degree of substitution of polar carboxyl groups as well as rather non-polar acetyl ones results in an enhance of surface activity. Starch sodium octenylsuccinate stands out from other investigated starches, in its excellent capability of lowering surface and interfacial tension. Cross-linked starches reveal excellent stabilisation activity at a pH range of 5.5–7.0 but their surface activity is lower than those of other modified starches. Acetylated starch as well as starch sodium octenylsuccinate reveal satisfactory thickening capability up to pH 4.5 and moreover their surface activity (especially of E 1450) allows us to recommend them as functional constituents of food emulsions. Low thickening capability of oxidised starches rather excluded these derivatives from the group of potential functional additives for food emulsions.     

In vitro and in vivo digestibility of native maize starch granules varying in amylose contents

Digestibility of maize starch granules with different amylose content (AL-0, 22, 54, 68, 80, or 90%) was investigated. Measurement of the in vivo resistant starch (RS) content of the starches was performed using surgically prepared ileorectostomized rats. The rats were fed a purified diet containing one of the starches at 652.5 g/kg diet. The in vivo RS content was determined based on the fecal starch excretion. The dietary fiber (DF) value increased as a function of the amylose content in the starch and showed a positive linear correlation with the gelatinization temperature of the granules. In contrast, the in vitro RS content was likely to depend on both the surface area and amylose contents of the starch granules. The maximum in vitro RS content was obtained with AL-68 (54.4%). In vivo RS content showed a significant correlation with the amount of in vitro RS but not in respect to the DF detected. The in vivo RS content of AL-68 (43.4%) was higher than that found in AL-90 (37.8%). A profound gap was observed for AL-54 between the amount of DF (6.4%) and RS (in vitro = 46.6% and in vivo = 40.9%) present. The results suggest that both in vitro and in vivo digestibility of maize starch is affected by the amylose content and surface area of the granules. The current evaluation suggests that the physiological occurrence of RS from maize starch might be predictable by reference to the in vitro RS value.     

A comparative study of the characteristics of cross-linked, oxidized and dual-modified rice starches

Rice starch was cross-linked with epichlorohydrin (0.3%, w/w, on a dry starch basis) and oxidized with sodium hypochlorite (2.5% w/w), respectively. Two dual-modified rice starch samples (oxidized cross-linked rice starch and cross-linked oxidized rice starch) were obtained by the oxidation of cross-linked rice starch and the cross-linking of oxidized rice starch at the same level of reagents. The physicochemical properties of native rice starch, cross-linked rice starch and oxidized rice starch were also studied parallel with those of the two dual-modified rice starch samples using rapid visco analysis (RVA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic rheometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the levels of cross-linking and oxidation used in this study did not cause any significant changes in the morphology of rice starch granules. Cross-linked oxidized starch showed lower swelling power (SP) and solubility, and higher paste clarity in comparison with native starch. Cross-linked oxidized rice starch also had the lowest tendency of retrogradation and highest ability to resistant to shear compared with native, cross-linked, oxidized and oxidized cross-linked rice starches. These results suggest that the undesirable properties in native, cross-linked and oxidized rice starch samples could be overcome through dual-modification.     

Copolymers of modified starches with polyacrylonitrile

A study was made of the ceric ammonium nitrate-initiated graft polymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) onto a number of modified starches that had been reduced in molecular weight by either acid, hypochlorite, or enzyme treatment. With highly soluble starches, much of the starting material was recovered as ungrafted carbohydrate, and the reaction product was largely dimethylformamide-soluble polymer with a high polyacrylonitrile (PAN) content. The molecular weight of grafted PAN was lower when the modified starches existed as granules in water dispersion; however, heating (60°C) an aqueous slurry of an acid-modified corn starch (with intact granules) before the reaction had relatively little effect on the composition of the copolymer. Decreasing the concentrations in water of modified starch and AN resulted in more frequent and lower molecular weight grafts of PAN. Aqueous methanol as a reaction medium for an acid-modified starch with intact granules led to more frequent grafting of lower molecular weight PAN than when water alone was used. The number of grafted chains, however, was fewer than found with unmodified wheat starch under comparable conditions. A modified starch with the granule structure completely broken down gave no detectable reaction in aqueous methanol.     

Hydrophobic modification of starch via grafting with an oxazoline-derivative

The application of starch in tailored materials is limited because of the high hydrophilicity of the polysaccharide. Thus, simple and efficient paths for the hydrophobic modification of native, cationic or thermoplastic starches by means of a radical grafting process using bifunctional fatty acid oxazoline derivatives were investigated. The modified starches can be manufactured by means of an extrusion process showing high grafting yields at adjustable grafting contents from 2.5 to 30%. Resulting starch materials are distinguished by modified water absorption properties and solubility, which is a prerequisite for their application in the paper or painting industry. Moreover the structure of the oxazoline derivative supplies the opportunity for reactive blending of different polymers carrying carboxyl, amino, mercapto or epoxy groups. This is exemplarily shown for the conversion with biodegradable polyesters, which contain carboxylic acid functions. Film forming properties of the new starch-based materials were studied. Results of the examination of manufactured shouldered test bars of starches coupled with biodegradable polyesters are presented as well.
