Abstract: A foodstuff thickened with a chemically modified starch extracted from a starch bearing plant having a dull waxy genotype is disclosed. Maize is the preferred plant.

Abstract: A substantially pure starch extracted from a starch bearing plant having a waxy floury-1 genotype is disclosed. Maize is the preferred plant. The starch exhibits properties similar to chemically modified starches. A sol and foodstuff containing the starch are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for dewatering slurry product streams of a corn wet milling process is disclosed. The dewatering process uses an automatic pressure filter to perform the dewatering. The filter is operated at 4 to 20 bars pressure for about 5 to 25 minutes. Such filter is shown to have an improved efficiency over conventional mechanical filtering devices.

Abstract: A substantially pure starch extracted from a starch bearing plant having a dull horny genotype is disclosed. Maize is the preferred plant. The starch exhibits thin-thick properties similar to chemically modified starches. A sol and foodstuff containing the starch are also disclosed.

Abstract: A complex of cyclodextrin and cetylpyridinium chloride is disclosed as a controlled release agent of cetylpyridinium chloride. The cyclodextrin can be either cyclodextrin molecule, a polymer of cyclodextrin or modified cyclodextrin. The method of forming the complex is also disclosed.

Abstract: A substantially pure starch extracted from a starch bearing plant having an amylose extender dull shrunken-1 genotype is disclosed. Maize is the preferred plant. A sol foodstuff containing the starch are disclosed.

Abstract: A substantially pure starch extracted from a starch bearing plant having a waxy shrunken-1 genotype is disclosed. Maize is the preferred plant. The sols produced for such starch exhibits superior freeze-thaw stability compared to sols made from chemically modified starches. A thickener composition and foodstuff containing the starch are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the process of producing and separating cyclodextrins and in particular to the process of using food grade hydrocarbons that include a six membered ring having some unsaturation and ten carbon atoms such as limonene and the like natural oils.

Abstract: A novel starch used in a size composition is disclosed. The novel starch is a quaternary ammonium ether and acyl ester of starch which has a DS of quaternary ammonium ether of between 0.02 to 0.2 and a DS of acyl ester of between 0.01 to 0.3. The size composition is made from the novel starch and polyvinyl alcohol in a ratio of starch: polyvinyl alcohol of between 1:9 to 10:0. The method of making the size composition and the method of applying the size composition to the yarn is disclosed.

Abstract: A method for removing polychlorinated biphenyl compounds from water is disclosed. The method encompasses the use of a cyclodextrin polymer made by forming a water-insoluble cross-linked cyclodextrin polymer to treat water contaminated with the polychlorinated biphenyl compounds. Both a batch and a continuous method are disclosed. Both methods operate at ambient conditions. Additionally, a method to absorb the polychlorinated biphenyl is disclosed.

Abstract: What is disclosed is a cross-linked starch which provides better fluid loss control in well drilling fluids than conventional starches at elevated temperatures. The starch may be derived from any source.

Abstract: An additive for food, especially baked goods, the method of manufacture and the baked goods produced therewith are disclosed. The additive is comprised of about 8 to about 40% by weight fructose, about 45 to about 80% by weight starch hydrolysate with a DE of about 5 to about 36 and about 0.5 to about 20% by weight emulsifying agent.

Abstract: A modified non-waxy starch, the processes for making such starch and the salad dressing produced from the modified starch. The modified starch is etherified with an alkylene oxide to a degree of substitution between about 2 to about 3.5% and in a second step is cross-linked with not more than 0.1% cross-linking agent. The modified starch has a shear resistance of about 40 to about 80%, shear resilience of about 70 to about 100% and a gel strength of about 5.0 to about 32.0 ml.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and the product resulting from pretreating corn starch with calcium or sodium hypochlorite in a controlled manner wherein the starch in aqueous slurry at about 90.degree. to about 115.degree. F. is contacted with from about 0.1 to 6.0% chlorine based on the weight of starch to tenderize the starch which is thereafter filtered, washed, dried and dextrinized in conventional manner to produce dextrins having excellent clarity, luster and stability in aqueous solutions containing at least 30% by weight of solids.
