Starch Acetate
To prepare esterified starch, adding Acetic anhydride or VAM to starch under alkalic environment (NaOH, Na2CO3 )is needed. Esterified starch has relatively higher stability for acid, alkali and heat which would be more difficult for molecules to form ester bonds. The features of esterification are easier gelatinization, transparency, flowability and less deposit.
