BS EN ISO 11214:1996 is a standard that pertains to modified starch, specifically addressing the determination of carboxyl group content in oxidized starch. Let's break down the key elements of this standard:
Modified Starch: Starch is a carbohydrate found in various plant sources and is commonly used in the food and industrial sectors. Modified starch refers to starch that has been chemically or physically altered from its native form for specific purposes. Oxidized starch is a type of modified starch that has undergone a chemical oxidation process, introducing carboxyl groups into the starch molecules.
Determination: This standard provides a set of procedures and methods for quantifying the carboxyl group content within oxidized starch samples. Carboxyl groups are functional groups containing a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group.
Carboxyl Group Content: The carboxyl group content is a critical parameter for assessing the degree of oxidation in starch. It is important to control and measure this content because it can affect the properties and performance of oxidized starch in various applications, such as in the food, paper, and textile industries.
