The invention belongs to the technical field of
starch modification, and discloses a method for preparing
starch citrate through
solvent-free continuous stirring, which comprises the following steps: step a, a
drying stage: firstly, crushing
citric acid particles, sieving for the first time, uniformly mixing the
citric acid powder sieved for the first time with
starch,
drying at high temperature, and cooling to
room temperature, after crushing, sieving for the second time to obtain a
citric acid-starch mixture; and b, a continuous stirring reaction stage: stirring the citric acid-starch mixture at high temperature while reacting to obtain starch citrate, cooling, washing with
ethanol,
drying, crushing, and sieving for the third time to obtain the starch citrate. The method does not use any
solvent and catalyst, does not generate waste water and
waste gas, is green and environment-friendly, and is short in preparation time and high in efficiency; by means of high-temperature drying pretreatment, the
caking problem caused when stirring and reacting are conducted in the follow-up process is greatly solved, stirring and reacting are conducted in the follow-up process, the contact opportunity of starch and citric acid is increased, and the content yield of
resistant starch is increased.
