Abstract
- Oxidized starch (oxStarch) is a major derivative of starch. In present study, 4-acetamide-TEMPO system was firstly applied to prepare specifically oxidized starch, homogeneous 1,4-linked α-D-glucuronan. The impact of oxidant amount, 4-acetamide-TEMPO amount and reaction temperature on the properties of products were investigated. The product structures were characterized with 1H NMR for degree of oxidation (DO), SEC-MALS for MW, MS for analysis of oxidized oligosaccharides, and in-source fragmented MS for analysis of oxidized polysaccharides. The results showed that the DO of oxStarches increased, but their MWs decreased with the raise of oxidant amount; higher 4-acetamide-TEMPO amount provided higher efficiency of specific oxidation of starch, in which the product has higher DO and MW; no significant difference have been observed between the oxStarches oxidized at 4 and 25 °C, but significant degradation was observed at 50 °C. In each product, having a MW distribution, the portion with smaller size has higher DO. While some unspecific oxidation was still observed observed on the second hydroxyl groups of sugar ring in the following order of priority, position 3 > 2 > 1 > 0. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
