  • Publication number: 20170183422
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a fluorescent starch nanocrystal and a preparation method and application thereof. Mainly based on the character that starch nanocrystal has an active hydroxyl group on the surface, the present disclosure introduces fluorescein isothiocyanate into the surface of the starch nanocrystal in the form of stable covalent bonds through a two-step chemical modification method: silane coupling and electrophilic addition of fluorescein, so as to prepare the starch nanocrystal with fluorescent properties. The preparation process of the present disclosure is simple and easy to operate, uses cheap and readily available raw materials, involves low cost, and allows the non-fluorescent starch nanocrystal to produce significant fluorescent properties without affecting the properties of the starch nanocrystal itself, thereby expanding the application of starch.

  • Patent number: 9580518
    Abstract: A method for fractionating dextrin, belonging to the technical field of food processing. In principle, the method for fractionating dextrin of the present invention is based on the fact that the dextrin is incompatible with polyethylene glycol in aqueous solution and a larger molecular weight of the dextrin results in more significant incompatibility with polyethylene glycol. Accordingly, the stepwise precipitation of dextrin components having a molecular weight from large to small may be realized by gradually increasing the concentration of polyethylene glycol by gradually adding polyethylene glycol to dextrin in aqueous solution.
