Contents:

Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Structure of Starch Chapter 3 Biosynthesis of Starch Chapter 4 Biodegradation of Starch Chapter 5 Properties of Starch and Modified Starches Chapter 6 Applications of Starch in the Bioeconomy Chapter 7 Perspectives of Starch in the Bioeconomy

Summary: Starch is the most widespread and abundant reserve carbohydrate in plants and is unique in that it can be used for the production of food, materials in bio-based products, and energy. Starch in the Bioeconomy covers the structure, biosynthesis, biodegradation, properties, and applications of starch in the context of the bioeconomy. The book Describes the present state of cognition of the starch granule Discusses physicochemical aspects and digestibility Considers physical, chemical, and biochemical processes to yield a variety of starch substrates Examines starch-based products including bioethanol, plastics, and composites and their use in various sectors including food, materials and energy Covers the valorization of starch as a pillar of the bioeconomy The book is aimed at researchers and industry professionals focused on the development of starch science, technology, and economics. Built on a reliable and well-documented base of information, the book presents the paths that remain to be taken to decipher this still mysterious resource that has contributed so much to the rise of humanity.
