Features: The field of starch science and technology has developed rapidly. Modified starch, which is further processed from native starch in industrial production, possesses superior properties and comes in a variety of types. It is widely used in food, papermaking, textiles, chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, and other industries, achieving excellent results. The production and application of modified starch have advanced quickly abroad, while China is still in the development stage and urgently needs books on this subject for reference by educators, researchers, producers, and practitioners. This book chapter provides an introduction to the fundamentals of native starch and modified starch. Subsequent chapters cover various types of modified starch, including pregelatinized starch, dextrin, acid-modified starch, sodium hypochlorite-oxidized starch, dialdehyde starch, cross-linked starch, hydroxyalkyl starch, cationic starch, carboxymethyl starch, acetylated starch, xanthanated starch, phosphated starch, and graft copolymerized starch. At the end of each chapter, references are listed, including domestic and international papers, patents, and books, for consultation when needed.
