Abstract
The phase behaviour and dynamics of starch, and its dextrins, are reviewed. Topics discussed include the effect of diluents on the melting and glass t ransition behaviour of starch, and factors affecting the dynamics of the st arch chain in concentrated systems. The approach adopted is to apply concep ts developed in the synthetic polymer area to the biopolymer starch.
