Solvent Effect on Starch Matrix. Part I: Non‐extrathermodynamic Considerations

Abstract
Potato starch was treated with various non‐aqueous solvents at temperatures not higher than 100°C. The solvents widely differ from one another by their polarity, acidity, basicity and donocity. The effect of solvents is documented by some different properties of starch (dextrins) resulting from such treatment.
