It is an economic compound used in different industries including pharmaceutical, food, textile, and packaging. Currently, CS is considered as an alternative to obtain biodegradable thermoplastic materials, due to its physicochemical and mechanical properties (Nordin et al., 2020). However, naturally, the CS has some disadvantages (e.g., high viscosity, low solubility, insoluble in cold water, hygroscopicity, retrogradation, and thermal degradation, among others) limiting the industrial applications. Several modifications, conversion, or/and derivatization techniques have been implemented to obtain starch with desirable physicochemical properties; therefore, in most cases, the essential functional group (-OH) on the amylose or amylopectin is modified to mitigate the limitations aforementioned allowing obtaining functional properties suitable for several industrial applications (Ogunsona et al., 2018; Singh et al., 2007). Succinated starch (SS) from different treatments such as acid hydrolysis, hydrothermal-alkaline, freeze-thaw, among others, has been obtained with high reaction efficiencies of the octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA)
