Abstract
Modification of corn and amaranth starch to their carboxymethyl deriva tives in the degree of substitution (DS) range of 0.1-0.2 enhances the ir viscosity characteristics as determined on a Brabender amylograph a nd also improves the freeze-thaw stability. The changes in amaranth st arch were more pronounced than in corn starch. All the derivatives, ho wever, had poor flow characteristics.
