Starch is one of the main polymers that exist in nature. Compared with other natural and synthetic biodegradable polymers, starch has shown numerous advantages. Its application has expanded from traditional food, paper and textile industries to packaging and medicine delivery and many other areas.
The thermal degradation of a polymer is when the polymer begins to undergo chemical changes at high temperatures without the participation of other compounds. Many food products containing polysaccharides, mostly starch and cellulose, are processed by heat treatment. Similar to the formation of caramel from monosaccharides and disaccharides, the chemical structure of carbohydrates can be significantly changed by heat treatment. From a scientific and industrial point of view, the thermal degradation and stability of starch are both very important characteristics. Its unique microstructure and multi-phase transformation during heat treatment provide an excellent model system for scientific research to explore the relationship between the processing and properties of polymers. The achievements in this field have increased the knowledge of polymer science, especially the natural polymers.
