STARCH NANOPARTICLES AND PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a starch nanoparticles and a process for the manufacture of said starch nanoparticles, comprising the steps, where in the first step starch is dispersed in an aqueous medium to obtain an aqueous dispersion, which is subjected to homogenization at a temperature between 30 and 80°C to yield a gelatinized slurry, in the second step aqueous medium is added to the gelatinized slurry in a volumetric ratio of 1:1 or more to obtain diluted gelatinized slurry and homogenizing the diluted gelatinized slurry at the temperature of 3-20°C for 1 to 30 passes to obtain starch nanoparticles. The invention also relates to uses of starch nanoparticles.
