The invention discloses an amphoteric alkenyl succinic
starch ester and a preparation method for low-
viscosity products of the amphoteric alkenyl succinic
starch ester. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: mixing
slurry of raw
starch, adding an alkali liquor, and feeding 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl
ammonium chloride to carry out a cationic etherification reaction; feeding alkenyl
succinic anhydride to carry out esterification, carrying out
neutralization, exhausting a fluid, washing, carrying out
dehydration and pneumatic
drying, and cooling to obtain amphoteric alkenyl succinic starch ester products, or after the alkenyl
succinic anhydride is esterified, feeding a
sodium hypochlorite solution again to carry out oxidation, adding a
reducing agent to be reduced, neutralizing by a
hydrochloric acid solution, exhausting the fluid, washing, carrying out
dehydration and pneumatic
drying, and cooling to obtain low-
viscosity amphoteric alkenyl succinic starch ester products. The products prepared by the invention have different surface activities, charge characteristics of anions and cations of different quantity proportions, different
viscosity and fluidity ranges, versatility, wide application ranges, suitability for non-food industrial uses such as pesticides, thickeners, emulsifiers or microencapsulated materials of the daily
chemical industry, and good effects.
