The application belongs to the technical field of
modified starch processing, and particularly relates to
porous starch with high adsorption capacity and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) adding raw
starch into an
ethanol aqueous solution, stirring and
heat treating at 80-100 DEG C, cooling, filtering, and washing to obtain wet-based
starch; (2) adding alpha-
amylase and saccharifying
enzyme into pure water, soaking and dissolving, centrifuging to obtain supernatant, and obtaining a composite
enzyme solution; (3) mixing the obtained wet-based
starch and the composite
enzyme solution in pure water, uniformly mixing, stirring and enzymolysis for 2-6 hours, filtering, washing,
drying,
grinding and sieving after the enzymolysis is completed, and obtaining
porous starch with high adsorption capacity. The
porous starch with high adsorption capacity, complete structure, high specific surface area and
oil absorption rate can be obtained by the pre-
alcohol water heat treatment and subsequent enzyme treatment. The preparation method has the advantages of simple process, low
equipment requirement, no use of toxic and harmful chemical reagents, safety and
environmental protection, easy industrialization and low preparation cost.
