Thumler ABSTRACT: Pregelatinized starches are prepared by pasting an aqueous slurry of a starch which contains at least 50 percent amylopectin at a temperature of at least 300 F, and then rapidly, preferably instantaneously, removing the water therefrom as by roll or spray drying. The resultant products rapidly disperse in water to form smooth pastes which are characterized by low initial viscosity and minimal setback.
NOVEL PREGELATINIZED STARCHES AND PROCESS FOR PREPARING SAME This invention relates to cold water dispersible starch products and to a method for preparing same.
So-called pregelatinized starches, i.e. starches which have been gelatinized and dried and which will disperse when added to cold water to form pastes, have long been known to the art. They are generally prepared either by first gelatinizing an aqueous slurry of starch, as by heating it to its gelatinization temperature, and then instantaneously removing the moisture, as by means of a roll or spray drier, or, alternatively, by passing an aqueous slurry of granular (i.e. ungelatinized) starch through a suitable apparatus, e.g. a roll or spray drier, wherein the starch is simultaneously gelatinized and dried.
When an ordinary (i.e. unmodified and underivatized) starch is subjected to a conventional pregelatinizing treatment the product will, upon addition to cold (i.e. room temperature) water, form a smooth, relatively viscous paste. For certain applications, pregelatinized starches which will form pastes of low viscosity are desirable; such products are customarily prepared by hydrolyzing the starch, as with acid or enzyme, prior to or simultaneously with the pregelatinizing treatment. Hydrolysis causes molecular degradation of the starch, that is to say, it breaks down the starch molecules; because of this the resultant pastes are not only low in viscosity but low in molecular weight as well.
Another feature of pastes prepared from ordinary pregelatinized starch is their tendency to increase in viscosity upon standing; this characteristic is generally referred to as setback." conventionally, setback is minimized by derivatizing the starch, i.e. adding substituent groups to the molecule.
We have discovered a simple, rapid, and inexpensive method for preparing pregelatinized starches having the ability to disperse rapidly in cold water to form exceptionally smooth pastes, which pastes are characterized by low initial viscosity and exceptionally good viscosity stability (i.e. minimal setback). Furthermore, unlike conventional pregelatinized starches which have been subjected to hydrolysis to lower their paste viscosity, the starches of our invention are characterized by substantially no, or at most very slight, molecular degradation.
It is an object of the present invention to prepare cold water dispersible starches which will reconstitute to form pastes having low initial viscosity and minimal setback.
Another object is to prepare pregelatinized starches which will rapidly disperse in cold or warm water to form exceptionally smooth pastes of low viscosity.
An additional object is to treat starch in such a way that the molecules of same will be substantially undegraded, but pastes of the starch will nevertheless exhibit low viscosity and exceptionally good viscosity stability.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the specification and the appended claims.
Briefly, the process is as follows. A granular starch which contains at least 50 percent amylopectin is slurried in water and pasted at a temperature of at least about 300 F., after which the water is instantaneously removed.
The starch can be any starch provided it contains at least about 50 percent amylopectin. Cereal starches, such as those derived from corn, wheat, barley, etc.; tuber starches, such as those obtained from potatoes, tapioca, or the like; and the waxy starches," e.g. waxy maize, waxy rice, and waxy sorghum, which consist entirely or substantially entirely of amylopectin, and are all suitable for the practice of the invention. The high amylose" starches, i.e. those which contain 60 percent amylose or more, as well as amylose itself, are not suitable, in that these starches produce products which form gels upon reconstitution with water, and gel formation is an undesirable characteristic in the applications for which the products of the invention find their greatest utility. The starches can be modified and/or derivatized prior to the pasting treatment. The only critical requirements for starches to be treated in accordance with the invention are (1) they must be granular, i.e. ungelatinized, (2) they must be capable of being gelatinized in water (for example, a starch which is so highly cross-linked that it will not undergo gelatinization could not be used), and (3) they must contain at least 50 percent amylopectin.
The instantaneous removal of the water after the high temperature pasting can be performed in any suitable apparatus, e.g. a drum drier, a spray drier, a belt drier, a foam mat drier, or the like, the only requirement being that the apparatus be capable of drying the starch paste very rapidly.
The original slurry can contain up to about 35 percent starch solids (by weight, based on the weight of the total slurry). As stated before, the starch must be pasted at a temperature of at least about 300 F. The only upper temperature limit is that at which substantial molecular degradation of the starch will take place, e.g. over about 450 F. Temperatures of from about 315 F. to about 360 F. are preferred.
It is very important that the paste not be permitted to cool to a point at which the starch begins to retrograde or becomes aggregated prior to removal of the water. The temperature at which retrogradation or aggregation begins depends upon the solids content of the paste. For example, a 35 percent solids paste will begin to retrograde at about 190 F., while one of 12 percent solids will begin to retrograde at about -l50 F. Also, it is preferred that the paste be fed to the drier very quickly after the completion of the pasting step, because the longer it is held at a high temperature the greater is the likelihood of molecular degradation an-d/or crystallization.
The products, because of their ability to reconstitute in cold water to form smooth pastes of relatively low viscosity, high molecular weight and minimal setback, are extremely useful as adhesives and as coatings and sizings for paper and textiles. It has also been observed that the reconstituted pastes have excellent film-forming properties, i.e., they will readily form films which exhibit excellent oil holdout and water holdout properties. The products are also excellent iron oxide depressants in the calcium soap flotation process for concentrating iron ores.
Structurally, the products of the invention are characterized by complete granular fragmentation, as contrasted with the conventional pregelatinized starches which contain a certain amount, usually about 10-15 percent, of intact granules.
The following examples will illustrate the practice of the invention. They are intended for illustrative purposes only, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any way.
