Modifying Cassava Starch via Extrusion with Phosphate, Erythorbate and Nitrite: Phosphorylation, Hydrolysis and Plasticization.

ABSTRACT: Extrusion processing of plasticized cassava starch, a prominent industrial crop, with chemical additives offers a thermo-mechanical approach to modify starch structures through physical and chemical interactions. This research investigates the interaction and morphology of thermoplastic cassava starch (TPS) blended with tetrasodium pyrophosphate (Na₄P₂O₇), sodium tripolyphosphate (Na₅P₃O₁₀), sodium hexametaphosphate (Na₆(PO₃)₆), sodium erythorbate (C₆H₇O₆Na), and sodium nitrite (NaNO₂) via twin-screw extrusion. The effects of these additives on the chemical structure, thermal profile, water absorption, and solubility of the TPS were examined. The hi
