Facets:
value: by esterification/transesterification reactions
type: MANNER
Source sentences:
text: Nuclear magnetic resonance (13C CPMAS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) suggest that tartaric acid is able to react with the hydroxyl groups of the starch by esterification/transesterification reactions, confirming its role as a compatibiliser.
