Do you know which plants are high in starch?

Starchy plants tend to be carbohydrate-rich foods, as well as root vegetables. For example: rice, corn, wheat, root vegetables include: potatoes, cassava, yam and so on.

Starch is not only the main component of human food, but also an important industrial raw material.

On the basis of natural starch, in order to improve the performance of starch and expand the scope of application, physical, chemical or enzymatic treatment can be used to change the characteristics of starch in different degrees.

At present, pre-gelatinized starch is used more in industry, which has the characteristics of easy to use, green environmental protection and high economic benefits. As a pure natural green plant adhesive, it has broad market prospects in food, medical treatment, agriculture, metal casting, paper making, petroleum, building materials and other industries. It is of great significance for the development of many industries to prepare and apply it in combination with the needs of different industries.

The traditional pre-gelatinized starch process methods include roller method, spray method and hot rolling method. With the popularity of screw extrusion technology in food processing, the use of screw extrusion to produce pre-gelatinized starch has become one of the important methods because of its characteristics of continuous production, low energy consumption and low investment.

How to use pre-gelatinized starch machine to produce pre-gelatinized starch? First starch and a certain amount of water mixed in the mixer, and then introduced into the extruder, through the high shear of the twin screw in the chamber and the role of high temperature and high pressure, the screw will constantly extrude the material until it is released from the die hole of the extruder, due to the instant return to normal temperature and pressure, the starch is instantaneously expanded, and then after drying, crushing to get pre-gelatinized starch.

The whole pre-gelatinized starch production line only needs to add a small amount of water to form a paste, and can use the internal friction heat to maintain a temperature of 120-160 ° C, and the price is low, with renewable characteristics, the use of the process also has the advantages of non-toxic, tasteless, degradable, and has shown a good market prospects in resource replacement and resource utilization. This technique is also recognized as one of the most economical ways to prepare pre-gelatinized starch.

Screw extrusion technology is not only used in the food industry, in other industries also plays an important role, as a snack food processing machinery manufacturer, we continue to pay attention to the progress of technology and technological innovation, for our customers to add a force to the cause.
