Carboxymethylated sago starch nanoparticles: influence of reaction parameters on degree of substitution
Carboxymethyl sago starch (CMSS) was synthesized in aqueous medium under various reaction conditions. The influence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), mole ratio of sodium monochloroacetate (NaMCA) to starch, reaction temperature and reaction duration were evaluated for degree of substitution by direct...

| Summary: | Carboxymethyl sago starch (CMSS) was synthesized in aqueous medium under various reaction
conditions. The influence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), mole ratio of sodium monochloroacetate
(NaMCA) to starch, reaction temperature and reaction duration were evaluated for degree of
substitution by direct titration. The ideal optimum conditions based on the investigation is 20 %
NaOH; mole ratio of NaMCA/Starch is 1.4; 60 °C for dissolution and etherification temperature
respectively; 3 hrs for dissolution and etherification duration, respectively. Carboxymethyl sago
starch nanoparticles with degree of substitution (DS) of 1.33 was synthesized via simple
nanoprecipitation and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron
microscope (SEM). |
