Recent progress of starch modification assisted by ultrasonic wave

Abstract

Starch is a kind of natural polymer, which is the main energy source for human body and important industrial raw materials. As a new non-thermal processing technology, ultrasonic has the advantages of green energy-saving, safety, high efficiency and convenient application. It plays an important role in starch modification process. In this paper, the effects of ultrasound on the multi-scale structure and physicochemical properties of starch were reviewed. The application of ultrasonic synergistic modification in starch modification was also analyzed, which is expected to provide some reference for the green modification of starch and its industrial production and application.

Keywords:
ultrasonic; starch; enzymatic hydrolysis; synergistic modification
