“…Starch granules consist of two major constituents, namely amylose and amylopectin. These two components make up about 98–99% of starch . The remainder, known as minor constituents, include minute quantities of proteins, lipids, moisture, minerals, and salts.…”

Starch is an abundant natural polymer with unique properties that make it amenable to various kinds of treatments. This deliberate attempt at altering the character of native starch results in modified starches. Starches are extensively used in the pharmaceutical industry, especially as excipients in tablet formulation. It is now widely acknowledged that starches in their native form have functional limitations. Modification is a means of enhancing the functionality of native starch for a wide variety of applications. The importance of modified starches as excipients for pharmaceutical direct compression has been identified. Although, there is a wealth of information on starch modification, characterization and applications in the literature, there does not appear to be as yet, any attempt at a methodological analysis of physical and chemical modification techniques as they apply to pharmaceutical direct compression. This review aims at addressing these gaps. It describes a range of physical and chemical techniques employed in producing modified starches and their potentials as excipients for direct compression. The effect of modification on the morphological and functional properties of starch in various direct compression formulations is also reviewed.

“…This means that a considerable proportion of glucose should result from the hydrolysis of starch which is conspicuously present in the enset stalk ( Fig 3G ). Enset is a starch producing plant and enset starch has high proportion of the branched amilopectin component [ 40 ]. The hemicelluloses in the enset inflorescence stalk were mostly xylans but in comparison with the fibers had higher proportion of arabinose and no acetyl groups were found ( Table 1 ).…”

Characterization of crop residues from false banana /Ensete ventricosum/ in Ethiopia in view of a full-resource valorization

et al. 2018

False banana /Ensete ventricosum [Welw.] Cheesman/ is exploited as a food crop in Ethiopia where it represents an important staple food. The plant is harvested and large amounts of biomass residues are originated, mainly from the pseudo stem (i.e., fiber bundles obtained from the leaf sheaths after being scrapped to produce starchy food) and the inflorescence stalk. These materials were studied in relation to their summative chemical composition, composition of lignin, lipophilic and polar extracts. Moreover, their structural characteristics, in view of their valorization, were scrutinized. The analytical studies were performed with the aid of FTIR, GC/MS, Py-GC/MS and SEM. The fiber bundles are aggregates of mainly long and slender fibers with low ash, extractives and lignin contents (3.8%. 4.4% and 10.5% respectively) and high holocellulose and α-cellulose contents (87.5% and 59.6% respectively). The hemicelluloses in the fibers are mostly highly acetylated xylans and the lignin is of the H-type (H:G:S, 1:0.7:0.8). This lignin composition is in line with the FTIR peaks at 1670 cm-1 and 1250 cm-1.The inflorescence stalk has high ash content (12.3% in the main stalk and 24.6% in fines) with a major proportion of potassium, high extractives (25.9%), and low lignin and α-cellulose contents (5.8% and 17.9% respectively). The stalk includes numerous starch granules in the cellular structure with the predominant presence of parenchyma. The potential valorization routes for these materials are clearly different. The fiber bundles could be used as a fiber source for paper pulp production with the possibility of a prior hemicelluloses removal while the inflorescence stalk has nutritional value for food and fodder. Furthermore, it can also be used for sugar fermentation products.

“…Starch extracted from bulla uses as raw materials for paper and textiles industry. It is also reported that warqe starch can be used as an alternative starch in pharmaceutical industries (Wondimu et al, 2014). Therefore, warqe, as the name indicated, is truly golden plant since all parts of it is useful for multipurpose and it also has environmental and social value.…”
