Starch powder

Millet Jelly Production. Starch powder is heated together with oxahc acid and hydrolyzed to produce millet jelly. Oxahc acid functions as a hydrolysis catalyst, and is removed from the product as calcium oxalate. This apphcation is carried out in Japan.

A report from West Virginia University by Koch and Hall (57) discussed the use of hardwood bark as particleboard furnish, with and without added binders. Species included red oak, soft maple, and black birch. Initial studies indicated no-binder boards had to be compressed to 70 pounds per cubic foot to maintain their integrity. Both strength and dimensional stability were enhanced by pressing boards at 400°F instead of 300°F. Longer press times (15, rather than 10 minutes) also helped. Later, boards were made with 5% added starch powder. One potential use of this product was for expandable horticultural planting containers. Both raw and composted barks were tried, with promising results. 

Maltodextrin occurs as a white, slightly hygroscopic powder, as granules of similar description, or as a clear to hazy solution in water. It is a purified, concentrated, nutritive mixture of saccharide polymers obtained by the partial hydrolysis of edible starch. Powders or granules are freely soluble or readily dispersible in water. 

Adhesives from Diisocyanates and Starch. Reactions between diisocyanates and carbohydrates are possible, resulting in polyurethane-like polymers. Starch as a most abundant natural polymeric carbohydrate is, without additives, an inefficient wood adhesive, giving weak and nonwater-resistant bonds. Another disadvantage of starch is that, even at low concentrations, the viscosity of the starch solution is too high for application. In our tests, maize starch was used as an extender for diisocyanates. The potlife of formulations of three parts starch powder and seven parts diisocyanate was more than 24 hours.

Polysaccharides, such as cellulose and starch, can be oxidized with ozone and then converted to their formazans. A cellulose wad or a sample of starch powder, finely divided or suspended in water, was placed in a gas-washing bottle with a shrunken glass filter and ozonized at room temperature for 8 to 18 hours, carefully washed, and reacted in acetic acid with phenylhydrazine. This resulted in vividly yellow phenyl-hydrazones of the oxidized polysaccharides. By the reaction with an ice-cold solution of diazotized aniline in pyridine and ethyl alcohol, the bright red formazans of the ozone-oxidized polysaccharides were obtained. 

Sift 2 parts powdered casein into 8 parts water and remove lumps by stirring. Add 1 part ammonium carbonate and allow to stand fcM- half an hour, then add 8 parts of water. 5TARCH is another size stir 1 part starch powder into 3 parts cold water to form a paste then slowly stir into 3 parts boiling water. 

Fondants are formed generally in moulds. The fondant is reheated to 65-70°C and poured into moulds made of starch powder in high capacity continuous machines. Silicon rubber moulds are used in certain types of these machines. Generally, the finished product can be taken out of the mould after 8 hours of cooling. 

Commercial native tapioca and com starches from Thailand (Tesco) were purchased and used as received. Alumina powder (99.5% purity, Amarin, Thailand), wherein the particle size distribution is shown in Figure 1, was used as the ceramic raw material. Ceramic suspensions were prepared to different % solid loadings with sodium silicate (Amarin, Thailand) as a dispersant, having a fixed concentration of 3 wt.% on a dry alumina basis. The wt.% starch powders were added in different quantities 5 wt.%, 10 wt. %, 15 wt.% and 20 wt.% on a dry alumina basis, which corresponded to 69%, 66%, 63% and 60% solid loadings, respectively. Homogenization was carried out by ball...

Gustafson (1964) has proposed a new procedure by which partial de-Iipidation of the various plasma lipoprotein classes is obtained by lyophilization in the presence of starch powder followed by extraction wiA n-heptane at —12°C. High recoveries of protein (93-100%) were obtained in the soluble protein-phospholipid residues from lipoproteins of Sf > 400 and HDL. This was contrasted by the low yields in de-lipi-dated protein of the LDL class. The technique would appear particularly applicable for the study of the triglyceride-rich very low-density lipoproteins, easily denatured by the action of diethyl ether.
