Effect of Porosity on the Esterification Efficiency and Physicochemical Properties of Corn Starch
Native starch (NS) has limited surface area and porosity, which restricts its performance in adsorption, encapsulation, and emulsification systems. We hypothesized that introducing porosity into starch granules would increase hydroxyl accessibility and enhance esterification efficiency, yielding amphiphilic derivat...
