Surface of corn starch films was modified through esterification using dodecenyl succinic anhydride (DDSA) as reactant. The effects of reaction temperature and time, concentration of alkaline aqueous solution for activating starch, concentration of ethanol diluted DDSA, and time of alkaline aqueous solution treatment on the physical properties related to material’s hydrophilic nature, such as moisture absorption and surface water contact angle, were investigated. It was found that the surface esterification modification significantly reduced the moisture sensitivity and surface hydrophilic character of starch film. Due to the hydroxyl groups in the film surface layer were reacted with DDSA, the equilibrium moisture content of the starch film under 95% RH declined 22% and the surface water contact angle increased up to 82% after surface esterification modification.
