The reaction between starch granules and octenylsuccinic anhydride (OSA) is normally retarded due to poor penetration of big oily OSA droplets into starch granules in an aqueous reaction system. High-speed shear was used to improve the degree of substitution (DS) and reaction efficiency (RE) of octenylsuccinate (OS) starch. Effects of high-speed shear on the physicochemical properties of corn starch and OS-starch synthesis were investigated. Results showed that no significant difference was observed in melting temperature and crystalline structure of treated starch when shear rate was less than 1.5 × 104 rpm. Treatment could degrade the starch molecule and release soluble saccharides. High-speed shear treated starch (H-starch) exhibited lower enthalpy change, and higher stability of hot and cold paste. OS-starch prepared using high-speed shear (H-OS-starch) showed more homogenous substitute group distribution in starch granule than that of control, as shown by confocal laser scanning microscopy. H-OS-starch also showed higher DS and RE, slightly lower pasting temperature, higher stability of hot and cold paste, and higher clarity and freeze-thaw stability, compared with the control.
