The improvement of the fluidity according to the present invention can be carried out at low cost because a small amount of an oxidizing agent can be used in parallel with the gelatinization (an additional step is not required). When complexed with a biodegradable resin that is more expensive than starch or gelatinized starch, the flowability is improved, and the compounding ratio of gelatinized starch (oxidized) can be increased. In addition, the price of the biodegradable resin molded product can be reduced. The oxidized starch gelatinized product of the present invention has improved fluidity, and as a result, can be blended with various composite compositions at a high rate. As a result, the biodegradability of the composite composition can be promoted (because the biodegradability of the starch gelatinized product is higher than that of the biodegradable resin), and the application range of the biodegradable composite composition can be expanded to the level of general-purpose resins. It becomes possible.

The thermal fluidity of the pellets prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 was examined by a temperature rising method using a flow tester (CFT500C manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation). As a measuring method, a die having a length of 2 cm and a diameter of 1 mm was used, the load was set to 50 kgf, and the temperature was increased at a rate of 5 ° C./min.
It measured in the range of ° C-200 ° C. FIG. 1 shows the results of the melt viscosity at each temperature, and FIG. 2 shows the results of the flow rate (shear rate). That is, in Examples 1 to 3 in which only a small amount of the oxidizing agent was added, the melt viscosity was reduced and the fluidity was improved as compared with Comparative Example 1 in which the oxidizing agent was not added. It was found to be equivalent to general purpose polystyrene.
