Popis: To develop a novel modification process of tapioca starch using low-pressure argon plasma treatment in a large-scale production, a semi-continuous downer reactor was designed to provide a production rate of 0.1–0.5 kg per cycle. Physicochemical and rheological properties of plasma-treated starch were investigated in order to predict the phenomena occurred during the plasma treatment. Native tapioca starch (NTS) was plasma-treated for 1, 3, or 6 cycles, which were referred to as PTS-1, PTS-3, or PTS-6 samples, respectively. Plasma treatment of the NTS resulted in a significant decrease (P
