Studies on Various Parameters Involved in Conjugation of Starch with Lysine for Excellent Emulsification Properties Using Response Surface Methodology

Abstract—The process parameters, starch-water ratio (A, (w/v)

%), pH of suspension (B), Temperature(C, °C) and Time (D, hrs.).,

were optimized for the preparation of starch-lysine conjugate and

studying their effect on stability of emulsions by calculating emulsion

stability index using response surface methodology. The optimized

conditions are pH 9.0, temperature 60 C, reaction time 6 hrs,

starch:water ratio 1:2.5, having emulsion stability index was 0.72
