Effects of stearic acid and irradiation alone and in combination on properties of amylose-lipid nanomaterial from high amylose maize starch

Author: Ocloo, FCK ; Ray, Suprakas S ; Emmambux, NM Date: May 2019 This study determines the effects of stearic acid and gamma irradiation, alone and in combination, on properties of amylose-lipid nanomaterials from pasted high amylose maize starch (HAMS) with and without alpha amylase hydrolysis. HAMS was ... Read more
Inducing PLA/starch compatibility through butyl-etherification of waxy and high amylose starch

Author: Wokadala, OC ; Emmambux, NM ; Ray, Suprakas S Date: Jun 2014 In this study, waxy and high amylose starches were modified through butyl-etherification to facilitatecompatibility with polylactide (PLA). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magneticresonance spectroscopy and wettability ... Read more
Isolation and characterisation of nanoparticles from tef and maize starch modified with stearic acid

Author: Cuthbert, WO ; Ray, Suprakas S ; Emmambux, NM Date: Jul 2017 Nanoparticles were isolated from tef and maize starch modified with added stearic acid after pasting at 90 °C for 130 min. This was followed by thermo-stable alpha-amylase hydrolysis of the paste. The resultant residues were then characterized ... Read more
Morphology, thermal properties and crystallization kinetics of ternary blends of the polylactide and starch biopolymers and nanoclay: The role of nanoclay hydrophobicity

Author: Wokadala, OC ; Ray, SS ; Bandyopadhyay, J ; Wesley-Smith, J ; Emmambux, NM Date: Aug 2015 Polylactide/butylated-starch/nanoclay (70/25.5/4.5 wt%) composites were prepared by melt blending with nanoclays of varying hydrophobicity. Electron microscopy studies indicated that the interphase boundary interaction was highest in the clay ... Read more
