In this study, the chemical modification of starch was conducted using itaconic anhydride as an esterifying agent. The results showed that sulphuric acid is more effective as a catalyst for esterification of starch compared to sodium hydroxide. The presence of attached itaconic anhyride in the starch affected the thermal behaviour and crystallinity of the resulting products as shown by the TGA, DSC, and the XRD data. In addition, the SEM micrographs also indicated that the modified starch exhibited a unique morphology in the form of block with different sizes ranging from 1 to 20 μm in length.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to chemical modification, characterization and evaluation of mucoadhesive potentiality of Assam bora rice starch as potential excipients in the sustained release drug delivery system. Methods: The starch was isolated from Assam bora rice and esterified using thioglycolic acid and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The 10% w/v gel formulation based on modified bora rice starch loaded with irinotecan (0.6%) was prepared and evaluated for various rheological properties, ex-vivo mucoadhesion using goat intestine and in vitro drug release study in phosphate buffer pH 6.8.Results: The chemical modification was confirmed by FT-IR and NMR studies with the presence of the peak at 2626.74 cm-1 and a singlet at 2.51 respectively due to–SH group. Ex-vivo mucoadhesion studies showed 6.6 fold increases in mucoadhesion of the modified starch with compared to native starch (46.3±6.79g for native starch; 308.7±95.31g for modified starch). In vitro study showed 89.12±0.84 % of drug release after 6 h in phosphate buffer pH 6.8 and the release kinetics followed Non-Fickian diffusion.Conclusion: The modified Assam bora rice starch enhanced a mucoadhesive property of the native starch and thus, can be explored in future as a potential excipient for the sustained release mucoadhesive drug delivery system.

Cellulose and hemicelluloses are the main building block of plant cell wall and are known as a natural polymer that usually used in the industries. Cellulose and hemicelluloses could be used as a feedstock for second generation biofuel production where it is subjected to hydrolysis into sugar after which it can be converted into bioethanol through fermentation process. In this study, the matured banana pseudo-stem is used as the source of hydrolyzing sugar from natural material. The objective of this research is to study the effects of different chemical pretreatments (sodium hydroxide, mixture of sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide, sulphuric acid, mixture of sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide) and hydrolysis time (1-5 hours) on the sugar yield from banana pseudo-stem. Results showed that, after 3 hours hydrolysis most of the sugars from all chemical pretreatments reduced gradually. Analysis of sugar contents from acid hydrolysis process using High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) showed that all the samples contained glucose, xylose, and arabinose where the highest glucose (16.02 mg/L) obtained from fiber treated with mixture of 1.0 M sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. In addition, both highest xylose (64.23 mg/L) and arabinose (45.78 mg/L) are obtained from fiber treated with 0.5 M sodium hydroxide.

When a suspension of cellulose, or a solution of starch, in 17.8% aqueous sodium hydroxide was shaken with a large excess of carbon disulphide, a sodium xanthate of degree of substitution (D.S.) about 0.4 was obtained. The replacement of the sodium hydroxide by 17.8% potassium hydroxide resulted in a product of D.S. about 1.3. Plots were made of the D.S. of cellulose xanthate resulting from the use of various concentrations of the hydroxides of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium; the plots for the last three hydroxides were similar, and differed sharply in form from those of the first two.Potassium cellulose or starch xanthate of D.S. about unity was freely soluble in water as well as in aqueous alkalies and the solutions "ripened". When immersed in methyl iodide, the dry salts yielded the corresponding S-methyl xanthates without change in the D.S. These S-methyl xanthates were white substances insoluble in water but dissolved or dispersed by carbon disulphide. They could be acetylated with sulphuric acid as catalyst and without change in the S-methyl xanthate D.S. The acetylated cellulose derivative was freely dispersed by chloroform or trichloroethylene.
