Starch has received research focus due to its low cost, excellent film-forming ability, bio-compatibility, extensive sources, renewability and biodegradability. However, native starch with relatively strong hydrophilicity greatly limits its application in industries. Therefore, in this paper, the recent research advances in chemical modifications of starch for hydrophobicity, e.g., esterification, etherification, crosslinking, grafting and condensing reaction etc., were discussed. The changes of hydrophobicity and other properties due to chemical modifications were described, as well. Different applications of modified starch with better hydrophobicity, i.e., packaging industries, Pickering emulsion and pharmaceutical, are presented, too. Finally, the future research and prospects on chemical modifications of starch for hydrophobicity and their applications are proposed.
淀粉由于其低成本、优异的成膜能力、生物相容性、广泛的来源、可再生性和可生物降解性而受到研究关注。然而,天然淀粉具有较强的亲水性,这极大地限制了其在工业中的应用。因此,本文讨论了淀粉化学改性以提高疏水性的最新研究进展,如酯化、醚化、交联、接枝和缩合反应等。还描述了化学改性引起的疏水性和其他性质的变化。介绍了具有更好疏水性的改性淀粉在包装工业、Pickering 乳液和制药等方面的不同应用。最后,提出了对淀粉化学改性以提高疏水性及其应用的未来研究和展望。
