The First Punic War was fought between Carthage and Rome between 264 and 241 BCE, largely over control of Sicily. The longest continuous war in history up to that time was fought on the island, at sea, and in north Africa with both sides enjoying victories and suffering near-catastrophic defeats.
It is a food ingredient classified as soluble fiber and is frequently used to increase the non-dietary fiber content of food, replace sugar, reduce calories and reduce fat content. Note: Dextrose, Sorbitol, and Citric Acid are all on this list of ingredients derived from corn.
Waxy corn starch, a starch containing essentially no amylose, is treated with a solution containing about 4.7 to about 8.7 parts of ethanol, about 0.24 to about 0.37 parts NaOH, and about 2.1 to about 3.2 parts water. The resulting cold water soluble/swelling starch gives about 50% to 94% solubility in cold water.Example I describes the most preferred treatment method. Native waxy corn starch (1 part by weight, dsb) was suspended in absolute ethanol (6.9 parts by weight).he resulting cold water soluble/swelling starch gives about 50% to 94% solubility in cold water.
