Resumen

The effect of starch granule sizes, shapes, composition, and frequency on the dielectric properties (dielectric constant, loss factor, and conductivity) of native and hydrothermally modified starches (potato, corn, and rice starch) are investigated in this work. Dielectric properties are determined from 5 Hz to 5 GHz. The modified starches exhibit lower dielectric properties than the native starches from 5 Hz to 5 GHz due to the disruption of the native polysaccharide?s molecular arrangement. The modified potato starch shows the highest loss factor (208.12 at 50 Hz and 19.95 at 500 Hz) and stable conductivity (~5.33 × 10-7 S/m at 50 Hz and 500 Hz) due to the larger continuous network structure after hydrothermal modification. The rice starch shows the largest difference in dielectric constant (47.30%) and loss factor (71.42%) between the modified form and native form in the frequency range of 5 MHz?5 GHz. This is due to the restriction of dipole motions in the closely packed structure after hydrothermal modification. The findings indicate that the quality of starch modification can be characterized by dielectric properties for assisting starch-based plastic production?s design.
