1. Investigation of Modified Cellulose and Starch via Hydrolysis and Mass Spectrometry
Abstract : Starches and celluloses can be chemically modified in order to affect their physiochemical properties. Modification of these carbohydrate polymers entails derivatising their free hydroxyl groups with functional groups. READ MORE

2. Development of Transgenic Potatoes to Attain Novel Starch Qualities
Abstract : Starch is a plant-derived polysaccharide with many uses in different food and non-food applications. In this thesis, the production of two novel potato starch qualities, amylopectin and high-amylose, and the modifications and the characteristics of the produced plants and starches are described.

3. Modified Starches in aqueous and plastisol coating
Abstract : The interest for coatings containing renewable materials has enlarged in the last decade. Materials from the nature are investigated like starch, cellulose derivatives, protein (gelatin), chitosane by many. In this study potato starch has been used. READ MORE

4. Agro-Waste Derived Additives for Polylactide and Tapioca Starch
Abstract : Development of materials from renewable resources is one of the big challenges facing our world. In this thesis agro-industrial waste derivatives were developed and evaluated as additives for two common renewable polymer matrices, polylactide (PLA) and starch. Two waste products, wood flour (WF) and rice bran (RB) were evaluated in different forms. READ MORE

5. Interactions between Amylose, Native Potato, Hydrophobically Modified Potato and High Amylopectin Potato Starches
Abstract : The behaviour of different starches and their mixtures was investigated using several analysis techniques, i.e. small-deformation oscillatory measurements (rheological measurements), differential scanning calo-rimetry (DSC), light microscopy, and UV spectrophotometry (turbidi-metry).
