The subject deals with the properties of starch and starch dispersions, which depend on its origin and/or chemical modification. The technologies of native starches used in the Czech Republic are discussed. Food and non-food industrial applications of starch and products of starch (starch derivatives, oxidized starches, dextrins, hydrolysates). Technological procedures of the chemical and biochemical products of starch.
