Modification of starch and its application in leather making

Jumeng Zhen, Jianzhong Ma

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

In this paper, the general methods of starch modification are discussed. The applications of modified starch in leather making are summarized and the potential applications of the modified starch are considered. Though the studies of the modified starch were focussed on dialdehyde starch that has been used as tanning material in the past, the authors believe that graft starch may be a possible new material in leather making with uses as tanning agent, retanning agent, and finishing agent.
