Abstract: The reaction kinetics for the preparation of sweet potato starch phosphoric esters was investigated in this study. A kinetic model that describes sodium trimetaphosphate concentration (cA) against reaction time (t) and temperature (T) was obtained as follows: cA=c0e-1.18×1013×e-1.12×104×—×t, where c0 was initial sodium trimetaphosphate concentration. The predicted values from the model were in good agreement with the experimental values. 

Key words: phosphoric ester of sweet potato starch, modified starch, cross-linking reaction, kinetics
