Optimization of the Preparation of Aqueous Suspensions of Waxy Maize Starch Nanocrystals Using a Response Surface Methodology

Abstract

Response surface methodology was used to investigate the effect of five selected factors on the selective H(2)SO(4) hydrolysis of waxy maize starch granules. These predictors were temperature, acid concentration, starch concentration, hydrolysis duration, and stirring speed. The goal of this study was to optimize the preparation of aqueous suspensions of starch nanocrystals, i.e., to determine the operative conditions leading to the smallest size of insoluble hydrolyzed residue within the shortest time and with the highest yield. Therefore empirical models were elaborated for the hydrolysis yield and the size of the insoluble residues using a central composite face design involving 31 trials. They allowed us to show that it was possible to obtain starch nanocrystals after only 5 days of H(2)SO(4) hydrolysis with a yield of 15 wt % and having the same shape as those obtained from the classical procedure after 40 days of HCl treatment, with a yield of 0.5 wt %.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
