title: A novel clean catalytic method for waste-free modification of polysaccharides by oxidation.
abstract: A practical, clean, single step oxidative modification of polysaccharides by H(2)O(2) catalysed by water soluble iron phthalocyanine, exemplified with starch, allows quantitative preparation of a range of tailor made materials without producing any waste.
