The fats and oils are adsorbed on the starch by mixing with the starch and, if necessary, are aged by heating to give a fat-and-oil-processed starch. For example, in the case of starch cakes and powders, fats and oils are dissolved or dispersed in water or an organic solvent and sprayed, and in the case of starch slurries, the fats and oils are dissolved or dispersed in the slurry and stirred to convert the fats and oils into starch. Can be adsorbed. Some types of fats and oils can be used as fats and oils-modified starch without heat aging. Heat aging is, for example, 30 to 18
The reaction can be performed at a temperature of 0 ° C. for a period of 1 hour to 10 days. In addition, heat aging and drying of the starch having the fats and oils adsorbed by the wet method can be performed simultaneously. This drying is carried out by using a dryer commonly used for drying starch, such as a band drier or a flash drier, to dry the starch to the equilibrium moisture, so that the fats and oils can be uniformly mixed and adsorbed on the starch. However, from the viewpoint of sufficiently aging, it is appropriate to dry the fat-and-oil-processed starch to a moisture content of 1% or less.

In the present invention, a gelatinized product of the above-mentioned oil-and-fat processed starch is used. The gelatinization of starch generally refers to a state in which when heated in the presence of water or the like, starch granules irreversibly swell or dissolve, lose crystallinity and birefringence, and increase in viscosity. The gelatinized starch in the present invention refers to one that does not substantially exhibit crystallinity and birefringence. Incidentally, the loss of crystallinity and birefringence,
The starch granules can be observed with a polarizing microscope, and the determination can be made based on the fact that the polarizing cross crossing at the center of formation, which was observed with ungelatinized starch, is no longer seen.

The gelatinized product of the fat / oil modified starch can be obtained by heating and mixing the fat / oil modified starch and water or water and a plasticizer. Gelatinization of the fat-and-oil-processed starch can be performed in the presence of water alone. In addition, even in the presence of water and a plasticizer, the oil-and-fat-modified starch can be gelatinized. In this case, the amount of water used can be reduced, which is effective in preventing foaming during molding. Further, by adding a plasticizer to the gelatinized product, there is an advantage that mixing and molding of the oil-and-fat processed starch gelatinized product and the biodegradable resin can be facilitated.

According to the present invention, the use of fat- and starch-processed starch obtained by processing starch lightly and inexpensively improves compatibility with biodegradable resins and interfacial adhesion, and improves mechanical properties. It is possible to obtain a biodegradable resin composition which prevents a significant decrease, increases the blending ratio of starch, and has good moldability. Conventional biodegradable resins are more expensive than general-purpose thermoplastic resins, and it is difficult to reach a price comparable to general-purpose resins in the future. According to the present invention, the cost of the biodegradable resin composition can be reduced by adding an inexpensive starch to form a complex, which also leads to the promotion of biodegradability, and its application range can be expanded to the level of general-purpose resins. It becomes possible.
