Introduction: hydroxypropyl starch is a white (colorless) powder with good fluidity and water solubility. Its aqueous solution is transparent, colorless and stable. It is stable to acid and alkali, the melting temperature is lower than that of the original starch, and the change of cold and hot viscosity is more stable than that of the original starch. Mixing with salt and sucrose had no effect on viscosity. After etherification, the ice melting stability and transparency are improved.

Purpose:

1) In the food industry, hydroxypropyl starch can be used as thickener, hydroxypropyl starch can be used as suspending agent and hydroxypropyl starch can be used as adhesive.

2) Hydroxypropyl starch papermaking industry: hydroxypropyl starch is used as internal sizing of paper, and hydroxypropyl starch is used as surface sizing.
