“…In recent studies, processes of esterification/crosslinking with citric acid have been conducted with various starch types, including both these produced on the large industrial scale, i.e., “normal” and waxy maize starch [ 27 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ], wheat starch and its A and B fractions [ 22 , 37 ], potato starch [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ], rice starch [ 44 , 45 ], and cassava starch [ 14 , 43 , 46 , 47 ], as well as with starch extracted from local plants, i.e., from banana [ 43 , 48 ], taro [ 49 ], yam [ 50 , 51 ], sweet potato [ 43 , 52 ], acha and iburu [ 53 ], kidney bean [ 54 ], lentil [ 43 ], and barley [ 16 ]. Investigations have been carried out with native starch (non-modified) and with starch modified using physical and chemical methods—porous starch [ 11 ], retrograded starch [ 41 , 42 ], starch nanocrystals [ 11 ], carboxymethyl starch [ 55 ], starch coated with nanoparticles [ 56 ], and alkaline starch suspension [ 57 ].…”
