Complexes of phosphated cornstarch and waxy cornstarch with casein were prepared and characterised. They were prepared from casein in defatted milk and corn and waxy corn starches phosphated to degree of substitution values (DS) of 0.0637 and 0.0968, respectively. The components were blended in starch to casein ratios of 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2, then precipitated with hydrochloric acid. Aqueous solubility, water binding capacity, IR spectra, and thermal analysis (thermogravimetry, TG, and differential thermogravimetry, DTG) of the precipitates revealed that they were not simple physical mixtures of the components. The components interact with one another electrostatically with involvem
