The alternative way is modified starch to improve its properties and uses on several industrial fields. The book explores the use of physical and, chemical modifications and even the unusual modification using ionizing radiation on several sources of starch, the effect of them on the properties and application fields of modified starch UR - https://www.intechopen.com/books/applications-of-modified-starches UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/41068 ER -
