Abstract
In this study, the effect of choline glycine ionic liquids on the butyrylation of starch was investigated by the butyrylation of debranched cornstarch in different concentrations of choline glycine ionic liquid-water mixtures (choline glycine ionic liquids to water in mass ratios of 0:10, 4:6, 5:5, 6:4, 7:3, 8:2 and 10:0). The butyryl characteristic peaks in 1H NMR and FTIR of the butyrylated samples indicated the success of butyrylation modification. 1H NMR calculations showed that the most effective mass ratio of choline glycine ionic liquids to water (6:4) increased the butyryl substitution degree from 0.13 to 0.42. X-ray diffraction results showed that the crystalline type of the starch modified in the choline glycine ionic liquid-water mixtures changed from B-type to a mixture of V-type and B-type isomers. The butyrylated starch modified in the ionic liquid increased its own content of resistant starch from 25.42 % to 46.09 %. This study highlights the effect of different concentrations of choline glycine ionic liquid-water mixtures on the promotion of starch butyrylation reactions.
