11. The Challenges of Analyzing the Molecular Properties of Starch
Abstract : Both the nutritional and functional properties of starch are directly influenced by the molecular structure of its polymers: amylose and amylopectin. It is therefore important to have reproducible methods for quantifying the molecular size. READ MORE

12. Synergistic interactions involving amphiphilic polymers in solution
Abstract : The properties of hydrophobically modified cellulose derivatives in aqueous mixtures with various other molecules have been investigated. Mixtures of a hydrophobically modified polymer and alkali-sensitive, degradable surfactants gave rise to time-dependent viscosities. READ MORE

13. Retrogradation Properties of Starch
Abstract : The main purpose of this thesis was to examine various factors influencing starch retrogradation. The reassociation events of starch, which are closely linked to the staling of bakery products, were mainly studied by thermal analysis. Some aspects of starch gelatinization are also included.

14. Thermoplastic processing of starch and cellulose-containing polymers
Abstract : Starch and cellulose are two naturally occurring polymers that have the potential to reduce the dependence on fossil resources if used as replacements or as complements to synthetic polymers. There are however some problems associated with the use of these polymers that have to be addressed and solved. READ MORE

15. Phase Segregation and Microstructural Changes in Starch - Protein Systems
Abstract : This thesis presents the study of the phase behavior of starch ? protein systems in relation to their microstructure and mechanical properties. To study the complexity of this multicomponent system, the main components of starch (amylopectin and amylose) were studied separately in presence of a protein (ß-lactoglobulin or patatin). READ MORE
