Starch adhesives are derived from the roots and seeds of plants such as corn, potatoes, rice, and wheat. The last two are commonly used in conservation. The plant material is processed by a variety of means including treatment with acids, bases, enzymes, and oxidizers. These processes modify a starch's viscosity and retrogradation" (i.e., stiffening). Depending on the starch type, and the processing method, a vast range of viscosities and adhesive strengths can be produced.[1]

Re-organization of headers[edit source]
This page currently follows the same organization as the adhesives page, which I feel makes it harder to find information about very commonly used adhesives in book and paper conservation (like wheat starch paste). I will re-organise them. --Sandrine Blais (talk) 14:56, 27 November 2025 (UTC)
