The monomer composition determined was compared to data calculated by the statistical models of Spurlin and Reuben. In addition, the starch derivatives were exhaustively degraded by alpha-amylase and amyloglucosiclase and the amount of glucose liberated was determined. Results were discussed with regard to derivatisation conditions and properties of the carboxymethyl starches.en668664journal article
