Article Synopsis
- A new type of chestnut porous starch nanoparticle (PSNP) was created by combining features of regular starch nanoparticles and porous starch through ultrasonic and acid hydrolysis, resulting in smaller particle sizes and increased surface area.
- The PSNP, measuring 286.3 nm, exhibited superior adsorption abilities for substances like water, oil, and methylene blue compared to other samples.
- The synthesis method affected starch composition, increasing relative crystallinity and solubility while reducing total starch and amylose content, highlighting the PSNP's potential as an effective adsorbent for various bioactive materials and dyes.
