Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Starch, which is a well-known carbohydrate obtained from plant sources with numerous functional properties, is critical for creating high-quality and shelf-stable foods. Starch and its derivatives have always been attractive, highly consumed materials in many food and non-food products. It is anticipated that starch’s popularity and demand will further increase due to the development of novel starch modification methods.
This Special Issue is a scholarly forum that aims to publish cutting-edge research findings on the latest advances in starch characterization and modification. It will focus on the application of modern techniques to unveil novel aspects of starch, including the emerging opportunities and challenges to address the growing demands of the food industry for high-quality, sustainable, and environmentally friendly products.
Moreover, the Special Issue will address the potential uses of resistant starch to enhance human health and increase consumer satisfaction. This Special Issue accepts original research articles, reviews, and short communications for publication.
