Preparation of glutinous rice starch nanofibers by electrospinning
Glutinous rice starch (GRS) is produced from glutinous rice which is commonly cultivated in the Northeast of Thailand. GRS contains two types of glucose polymers which are amylose and amylopectin. Glutinous rice starch nanofibers (GNF) can be produced by an electrospinning technique. This is not a c...

| Summary: | Glutinous rice starch (GRS) is produced from glutinous rice which is commonly cultivated in the Northeast of Thailand. GRS contains two types of glucose polymers which are amylose and amylopectin. Glutinous rice starch nanofibers (GNF) can be produced by an electrospinning technique. This is not a complicated method but needs a high voltage power supply. The aim of this study was to understand the production of GNF and physical-chemical properties of GNF. The morphology of GNF was examined by scanning electron microscopy. The characteristics of GNF are high porosity, flake multi-layers and a high swelling power. The Electrospinning technique did not change the chemical structure of GRS based on an FT-IR evaluation. This research revealed the basic characteristics of electrospun glutinous starch for use in various applications in the future. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications. |
