Production of a Modified-starch Tobacco Humectants Additive

Strong hydrophilic group was introduced in the starch molecular by chemical reaction,greatly increasing water absorption properties and holding capacity.Reaction conditions for the production were determined as 10% of hydrogen peroxide amount,60 ℃ of the reaction temperature,3h of reaction time.The moistening performance of modified-starch humectants and traditional humectants were compared.The result showed that the moistening performance of modified-starch humectants was better than that of the traditional one.
