Study Notes
- Starch is a nutritive substance found in most plants
- Starch is formed as a result of photosynthesis of sugars within the green parts of plants under the influence of sunlight
Importance of Starch
- Starch and starchy products importance in food industries comes from being used in the preparation of many food products
- It is used in the manufacture of sweets, biscuits, meat products
- Some different types of starch (modified starch) are used as stabilizers when producing dairy ice cream and as a thickener for jelly or pudding
- It is used as a supportive substance in the manufacture of bread yeast
- Many products can be obtained using starch as a primary substance, such as industrial syrup, maltose syrup, and glucose of various kinds
- Industrial syrup is used in the manufacture of caramel and caramel syrups as an anti-crystallization agent
- Types of industrial syrup and maltose syrup produce high content of reducing sugars
- Used successfully as a partial alternative to sucrose, as well as in the manufacture of bread and pastries
- Glucose is also a widely used product in many fields
- It is an easily digestible substance, it is currently used in the pharmaceutical industries to prepare glucose solutions and many medicines
- In other industrial fields, starch is used in the textile and paper industry and some other chemical industries
- Starch was produced in the past by primitive methods from wheat as a primary substance
- In the early 17th century, with the start of potato cultivation in Europe, the production of starch began from this substance
- Industrial syrup was obtained from starch in the early nineteenth century using the method of acid hydrolysis
- Sulfuric acid was used for this purpose, and then hydrochloric acid
- Methods of obtaining it have developed, as combined methods (acidic-enzymatic) began to be used at the present time, and enzymatic methods in the recent period
