Synopsis

This book contains original reviews and research papers presented at the XV International Starch Convention, Moscow-Cracow, which was held in Moscow in June, 2007. In spite of the fact that the history of starch use and scientific and technological investigations of starch containing materials goes last over 3 centuries, the problems of understanding the nature of starches, the structural organization of the native starch granules and features of their behavior in different chemical and technological processes are increasingly actual.As a bulk biopolymer with environmental friendly and carbon dioxide neutral assets starch is expected to take an important position in helping to realize a truly functional bioeconomy. At the XV International Starch Convention, experts of starch science and technological investigations in biochemistry, genetics, biotechnology, biophysics, and food science were engaged in vivid discussions on the biosynthesis, genetics, degradation, molecular structure of starch granules, chemical modifications of starches, and processing of starches and starch-based raw materials.
