Starch being one of the most abundant polysaccharides in nature has been subjected to modification to enhance its applicability. Modification by esterification involves acylation of hydroxyl groups of glucose units to form starch esters. Lipases, as catalysts have emerged as a promising alternative to chemical processes. Although ionic liquids and microwave assisted heating are emerging as green technology yet their use along with lipases for starch modification has not been probed. In the present study esterification of corn starch employing Rhizopus oryzae lipase, microwave irradiation and novel imidazolium surfactants has been attempted. At 80% irradiation, 1:3 starch/oleic acid molar ratio, 150 IU enzyme, and 50 mol of [C-16-3-C(16)im]Br-2 maximum degree of substitution (DS = 2.75) was attained. The modified starch showed better hydrophobicity and thermoplasticity with corresponding structural changes depicted by FTIR, XRD and SEM. These properties advocate the usefulness of the modified starch in food and biopolymer sectors. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
