Abstract: Coating colors having a dextrin having high amylopectin content. When such a dextrin is used in the form of an adhesive, it confers an excellent stability on the adhesive. When the adhesive is subsequently incorporated in the coating color, it makes it possible to adjust the Brookfield viscosity thereof, while providing a good compromise between water retention and rheological behavior at high shear gradient. Also, the use of such dextrin for the manufacture of a coating color. Further, a process for the manufacture of a paper or of a cardboard coated on at least one its face with a coating color, and papers and cardboards thus obtained.

Abstract: A coating slip includes water, at least one pigment and at least one modified starch, exhibiting: a weight-average molecular weight ranging from 250 000 to 2 000 000 Da; and a solubility, measured according to a test A, ranging from 50 to 85%. A process for the preparation of the slip, and a process for coating paper using this slip are also described.

Abstract: A method of using at least one leguminous starch derivative having a predetermined molecular mass in weight and a predetermined sol/gel transition temperature for preparing a composition for laying paper or flat carton. The leguminous starch derivative and laying compositions prepared from the same, in particular with high dried materials are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for cooking a starchy composition, includes: (a) a first step of mixing at least one starch powder with an aqueous starch fluid, wherein the ratio of the mixture of the starch powder to the aqueous starch fluid is such that the total starch content of the mixture obtained is greater than 45% by weight, and wherein the first step is carried out in a cooking chamber maintained at a temperature at least equal to the highest gelatinization temperature (GT) of all the starches present in the mixture, for a period of time sufficient to obtain a colloidal solution of starch, and (b) a second step comprising heating the colloidal solution of starch obtained in step (a), at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of between 120° C. and 180° C.
