AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR INCREASING THE VISCOSITY OF A TECHNICAL GRADE ALKALI-METAL PHOSPHATE-MODIFIED STARCHCH OBTAINED BY REACTION OF STARCH WITH AN ALKALI METAL ORTHOPHOSPHATE AT A TEMPERATURE BETWEEN ABOUT 120 AND ABOUT 175*C. WHICH COMPRISES FORMING A DISPERSION CONTAINING BETWEEN ABOUT 15 AND ABOUT 35 WEIGHT PERCENT OF TECHNICAL GRADE STARCH PHOSPHATE IN AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION CON-TAINING BETWEEN ABOUT 20 AND ABOUT 45 VOLUME PERCENT OF AN INERT OXYGEN-CONTAINING WATER-MISCIBLE ORGANIC LIQUID; AGITATING THE RESULTING DISPERSISON AND TREATING THE SAME WITH CHLORINE UNTIL THE SUPERNATANT ASSUMES A GREEN COLOR; SEPARATING THE SOLIDS FROM THE LIQUID PHASE; WASHING THEE SEPARATED SOLIDS WITH SOLVENT COMPRISING AN INERT OXYGENCONTAINING WATER-MISCIBLE ORGANIC LIQUID COMMON TO THE ORIGINAL DISPERSION; AND RECOVERING AN ALKALI-METAL PHOS-PHATE-MODIFIED STARCH OF SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED VISCOSITY.
