Resistant starch derivatized starches

Lighdy derivatized starch acetates are employed in food because of the clarity of their gels and their stabiHty. AppHcations include frozen fmit pies and gravies, baked goods, instant puddings, and pie fillings. Starch acetates are used in textiles as warp sizes and in paper to improve printabiHty, surface strength, and solvent resistance. 

It was reported that metallation of starch did not change its thermal properties to any significant extent.647,651 655 but also there is report that an increases in thermal resistance of starch can be afforded by derivatizing such starches with metal atoms.666 In every case the reaction products were less susceptible to hydrolysis as compared with unreacted metal salts.
