Properties of starch

Free-flowing white powder, tasteless and odorless, creaks when rubbed.

Starch does not dissolve at all in cold water, and after a while it “sits” to the bottom and the solution becomes almost transparent;

In warm water it forms a milky liquid, and after a while it “sits” to the bottom and the solution becomes transparent.

Starch in hot water only swells, but does not dissolve. The result was a colorless viscous mass, sticky to the touch. From the literature I learned that this solution is called a paste.


Being in nature

In corn and wheat 70 percent

Rice contains 80 percent.

In potato tubers - 25 percent.


  • Starch is most often obtained from potatoes in factories. To do this, the potatoes are crushed, washed with water and pumped into large vessels where settling occurs. The resulting starch is washed again with water, settled and dried in a stream of warm air.

Slide 2

Starch consists of 2 polysaccharides - amylose and amylopectin, formed by glucose residues. It has been experimentally proven that the chemical formula of starch is (C6H10O5)n.

It has been established that starch consists not only of linear molecules, but also of molecules with a branched structure. This explains the granular structure of starch. Accumulates in the form of grains, mainly in the cells of seeds, bulbs, tubers, as well as in leaves and stems. Starch is a white powder, insoluble in cold water. In hot water it swells and forms a paste.

The structure of starch.

Slide 3

Physical Properties

Tasteless, amorphous white powder, insoluble in cold water; in hot water it swells (dissolves), forming a colloidal solution - a paste. Under a microscope it can be seen that it is a granular powder; When you squeeze starch powder in your hand, it produces a characteristic “crunch” caused by the friction of the particles.

Slide 4

Chemical properties

It swells in hot water, in water and with the addition of acid (H2SO4, diluted, etc.) as a catalyst, it gradually hydrolyzes with a decrease in molecular weight, down to glucose. Forms a colloidal solution (starch paste); with iodine solution gives a blue color. Starch molecules are heterogeneous in size. Starch is a mixture of linear and branched macromolecules. Under the action of enzymes or heating with acids, it undergoes hydrolysis. Equation: (C6H10O5)n + nH2O-H2SO4→ nC6H12O6. Qualitative reactions: Starch, unlike glucose, does not give a silver mirror reaction. Like sucrose, it does not reduce copper(II) hydroxide. Interaction with iodine (blue color).

Slide 5

Nutritional value

In the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals, starch is hydrolyzed and converted into glucose, which is absorbed by the body. Starch, as a food additive, is used to thicken many foods, prepare jelly, dressings and sauces.

Slide 6

Biological properties

Starch, being one of the products of photosynthesis, is widespread in nature. For plants, it is a supply of nutrients and is found mainly in fruits, seeds and tubers. The grains of cereal plants are the richest in starch: rice (up to 86%), wheat (up to 75%), corn (up to 72%), and potato tubers (up to 24%).

Slide 7

For the human body, starch, along with sucrose, serves as the main supplier of carbohydrates - one of the most important components of food. Under the action of enzymes, starch is hydrolyzed to glucose, which is oxidized in cells to carbon dioxide and water, releasing the energy necessary for the functioning of a living organism.

Slide 8

Starch modification

In industry, the conversion of starch into glucose (saccharification process) occurs by boiling it for several hours with dilute sulfuric acid (the catalytic effect of sulfuric acid on the saccharification of starch was discovered in 1811 by K. S. Kirchhoff). To remove sulfuric acid from the resulting solution, chalk is added to it, producing insoluble calcium sulfate from sulfuric acid. The latter is filtered off and the substance is evaporated. The result is a thick sweet mass - starch syrup, which contains, in addition to glucose, a significant amount of other starch hydrolysis products. Molasses is used for the preparation of confectionery products and for a variety of technical purposes. If you need to get pure glucose, then boiling the starch takes longer than it is more completely converted into glucose. The solution obtained after neutralization and filtration is concentrated until glucose crystals begin to fall out of it. Also, currently, starch hydrolysis is carried out enzymatically, using alpha-amylase to produce dextrins of various lengths, and glucoamylase for their further hydrolysis to produce glucose.

Slide 9

When dry starch is heated to 200-250°C, its partial decomposition occurs and a mixture of polysaccharides less complex than starch (dextrin and others) is obtained. The physical change produces starch with a high moisture-holding capacity, which in turn gives the final product the desired consistency. Modified starch has nothing to do with genetically modified organisms, since it is not changed at the genetic level.

Modified starch

Slide 10

Application of starch.

Starch is the main part of the most important food products: flour (75 - 80%), potatoes (25%), sago, etc. Energy value is about 16.8 kJ/g. It is a valuable nutritious product. To facilitate its absorption, starch-containing foods are exposed to high temperatures, that is, potatoes are boiled, bread is baked. Under these conditions, partial hydrolysis of starch occurs and dextrins, soluble in water, are formed. Dextrins in the digestive tract undergo further hydrolysis to glucose, which is absorbed by the body. Excess glucose is converted into glycogen (animal starch). The composition of glycogen is the same as that of starch - (C6H10O5)n, but its molecules are more branched. The liver contains especially a lot of glycogen (up to 10%). In the body, glycogen is a reserve substance that is converted into glucose as it is consumed in cells. In industry, starch is converted into molasses and glucose by hydrolysis. To do this, it is heated with dilute sulfuric acid, the excess of which is then neutralized with chalk.

Slide 11

The resulting precipitate of calcium sulfate is filtered off, the solution is evaporated and glucose is isolated. If starch hydrolysis is not completed, a mixture of dextrins and glucose is formed - molasses, which is used in the confectionery industry. Dextrins obtained from starch are used as glue to thicken paints when applying designs to fabric. Starch is used for starching linen. Under a hot iron, starch is partially hydrolyzed and converted into dextrins. The latter form a dense film on the fabric, which adds shine to the fabric and protects it from soiling. Starch and its derivatives are also used in the production of paper, textiles, foundries and other industries, as well as in the pharmaceutical industry.

  • Starch is a natural polymer (C6H10O5)n where n is from several hundred to several thousand In potatoes - 20% In rice - 80% Wheat and corn - 70% Preparation Starch is most often obtained from potatoes. To do this, the potatoes are crushed, washed with water and pumped into large vessels where settling occurs. The resulting starch is washed again with water, settled and dried in a stream of warm air. Physical properties Occurs in the form of white grains. Starch grains are insoluble in cold water; In hot water, the membrane of the grains bursts and the starch forms a colloidal solution (gel). Does not have a sweet taste. Chemical properties Qualitative reaction to starch. Iodine forms an intensely blue complex compound with starch Experiment “Qualitative reaction” Hydrolysis Reaction equation: (C6H10O5)n + n H2O → n C6H12O6 Stepwise hydrolysis Starch dextrins maltose glucose Destruction upon heating When starch is heated, macromolecules are destroyed with the formation of compounds with a lower molecular weight - dextrins. Due to partial dehydration, dextrins acquire a yellow and golden brown color. This process occurs when baking flour confectionery products, since starch makes up the main part of wheat flour. Experience “Acid hydrolysis of starch” Application in the paper industry Corn starch is used for roll sizing and surface sizing in the paper industry. This increases paper strength, lays down surface lint and increases document stiffness and rattle. Use in confectionery and bakery production Corn starch is widely used in the food industry as a thickener for sauces, puddings and pie fillings. In bakeries, it helps soften wheat flour and provides good texture. Textile Applications Corn starch can be easily converted into a smooth paste within an hour by pressure cooking. This makes its use in the textile industry widely popular. Its viscosity ensures uniform flow and penetration into the interstices of the yam, which ensures a good weave of the thread. Application in construction For the production of building mixtures, thickeners and binders based on corn starch are used. Starch-based additives are being developed for the construction industry. They are used to impart specific properties to cement mortars, plaster mortars, gypsum products, finishing mixtures, etc. Applications in Pharmaceutical Industry Corn starch is most suitable as a tablet compression vehicle in the pharmaceutical industry.
