The starch market has been growing and improving, leading to search for products with unique functional properties that industry requirements. The use of native starches is limited, depending on the processing conditions such as temperature, pH, pressure restricting its application in industrial scale. The production of modified starch is an alternative that has been in development for some time in order to overcome one or more limitations of native starches, increasing its use in industry. The objective of this research was to evaluate the properties of corn starch chemically modified, alone or combined action by the acid, oxidative and alkaline. The corn starch granules were treated with a solution of sodium hydroxide at concentrations of 0.09% and 0.18%, with lactic acid solution, 2% and 4%, and a solution of sodium hypochlorite 1% and 2%. Later were neutralized, washed, dried, ground and stored. The starches were evaluated for amylose content, content of carbonyl and carboxyl, paste properties, diffraction of X-ray, swelling power and solubility and enzymatic susceptibility. The corn starch oxidized with sodium hypochlorite (2%) showed a reduction in levels of amylose and treated with alkali and acid increased. The oxidative treatment increased gradually, the levels of carbonyl and carboxyl with increasing concentration of sodium hypochlorite. Among the treatments studied the oxidative treatment was more interference in the pasting properties of starch increased the maximum viscosity and breakdown and reduce the pasting temperature and final viscosity. The interaction between the alkaline and acid treatments affected the crystallinity of maize starch. The oxidative treatment increased the solubility of corn starch at all temperatures examined, especially in the incubation temperatures are higher than the highest concentration (2%), significantly increased the rate of hydrolysis
