Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Starch-based food products are widely consumed worldwide. Moreover, exploring new knowledge about these products to enhance their formulation and quality may promote the preference that consumers have for them. Native starches have low water solubility at room temperature and poor stability, which demand modifications to overcome esterification, crosslinking, oxidation and multiple modifications. These modified starches are not only important auxiliary materials or additives for modern food processing, but they are also a novel, promising biomaterial for pharmaceutical applications. Therefore, the objective of this Special Issue is to cover recent advances in developing the quality of starch-based foods. We invite the submission of original research manuscripts and review articles focusing on advances in functional regulation, high-value processing and the utilization of starch-based foods.
Potential topics include (but they are not limited to) the following:
- Application of chemically modified starches in food processing;
- Application of physically modified starches in food processing;
- Application of enzymatically modified starches in food processing;
- Modified, starch-based carriers in drug delivery.
