Abstract
Properties of starch complexes prepared from potato starch with methanol, 1 -propanol and 1-pentanol are presented. These complexes were prepared from air-and oven-dried starch. It is demonstrated that alcohols penetrated the interiors of starch granules and expelled the amorphous content of the gran ules through the hilum. In this manner, original structure of granules is i rreversibly changed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
