The method employs citric acid as the modifier, combines the citric acid with starch, achieves the good modification effect of starch at high temperature, and improves the digestion-resistant property of starch. Citric acid itself is nontoxic, the process conditions are mild and the treatment methods are relatively safe, which shows very high practical values. In the method, starch and citric acid are cross-linked by using the infrared treatment technology, and the dry heating treatment is used to promote the modifier citric acid into starch, thereby achieving significant and stable modification effects, and high modification efficiency.

Water soluble, lipophilic starches are provided, which comprise a mixture of functionalized high and low molecular weight maltodextrin molecules. The starches may be formed by dispersing a granular starch in a liquid medium to form a slurry that is simultaneously cooked and subjected to enzyme hydrolysis. Following hydrolysis, the starch is functionalized with an organic acid anhydride reagent, such as octenylsuccinic anhydride. The organic acid anhydride substitution occurs randomly and at various locations within the maltodextrin molecules.

There is provided esterified starch which can be produced without using a non-aqueous organic solvent and has water resistance and miscibility with another plastic, and a starch-containing plastic composition. The esterified starch is obtained such that a starch mixture containing starch and a polyhydric alcohol, which is subjected to a heat treatment, is esterified with a vinyl ester and carbonate. Since the starch in the starch mixture enters a state in which starch granules are disintegrated by the polyhydric alcohol, by heating the starch mixture containing starch and a polyhydric alcohol, it is possible to esterify the starch without using a non-aqueous organic solvent and to obtain esterified starch having a high ester substitution degree. According to the esterified starch of the present invention, it is possible to obtain a starch-containing plastic composition having high hydrophobicity, and excellent water resistance and miscibility with another plastic.
