Abstract
Abstract A method for the modification of starch by silanes wherein the starch and silane are contacted in an organic solvent in the presence of a metallic acid ester of a metal of groups IVB or VB of the Periodic Table of the elements. The resulting suspension is stirred. The subsequently separated starch exhibits better working characteristics than the corresponding unmodified starch.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
43 words
A method of modifying starch with organosilanes comprising contacting the starch with an organofunctional alkoxysilane or an alkylalkoxysilane in an organic solvent in the presence of metallic acid esters of metals of groups IVB and VB of the Periodic Table of the Elements.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
43 words
A method of modifying starch with organosilanes comprising contacting the starch with an organofunctional alkoxysilane or an alkylalkoxysilane in an organic solvent in the presence of metallic acid esters of metals of groups IVB and VB of the Periodic Table of the Elements.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the organofunctional alkoxysilane or alkylalkoxy silane and the metallic acid ester are dissolved in the organic solvent to form a solution, the starch is suspended in said solution to form a suspension which is stirred at room temperature.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the molar ratio of the organosilane to the metallic acid ester is between 1:9 and 9:1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the metallic acid esters are esters of titanic, zirconic or vanadic acids.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
82 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the organosilanes are of the general formula ##STR3## wherein Y is a substituted or unsubstituted amino group or a moiety from the group ##STR4## X is an alkoxy moiety having no more than 6 carbon-atoms, interrupted, if desired, by oxygen atoms, m can assume a value of 0 or 1 or 2, and n can assume the value of 1 or 2 or 3, as well as 0 in the case in which Y=--CH═CH 2 .
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
The method of claim 1, wherein Y is substituted or unsubstituted amino and the substituents are C 1 -C 8 alkyl moieties, aryl moieties, preferably the phenyl radical, cycloalkyl moieties; --CH 2 --CH 2 NH 2 ; or a quaternary ammonium salt.
