Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of starch production using continuous oxidation. This method allows for the starting material to contain variable amounts of non-starch products, which is common in large-scale processes. This method produces consistently oxidized starch products that exhibit a reduced tendency to form amylose crystals. Using this continuous reactor with multiple stages, it is possible to produce oxidized starch at any given viscosity.
