Disodium dicarboxy methyl starch (DDMS), the malonate derivative of starch with varying degrees of substitution (DS=0.22, 1.1 and 1.8), have been prepared and examined for their calcium‐sequestrating ability. These derivatives form relatively stronger chelates with calcium (log K Ca =4.7) than sodium citrate (log K Ca =3.8). A degree of substitution (DS) ca. 1 appears to be most effective from structural consideration. On a weight basis, the chelating value of DDMS with DS ca. 1 was determined to be ca. 1/3 of that of STPP and EDTA and comparable with that of sodium citrate.
