Cassava starch is in high demand due to its availability, low-cost and unique functional
features. Cassava starch modification is required to create new techno-functionalities for …

The development of green material in the last decade has been increased, which tends to
reduce the impact of humans on the environment. Starch as an agro-sourced polymer has …

Cassava is highly tolerant to harsh climatic conditions and has great productivity on
marginal lands. The supply of cassava starch, the major component of the root, is thus …

During oxidation, the hydroxyl groups of starch molecules are first oxidized to carbonyl
groups, then to carboxyl groups. The contents of the carbonyl and carboxyl groups in a …

The presence of polyfunctional ligands on the bio-macromolecules acts as an efficient
adsorbent for heavy metal ions. Starch is one of the most abundant, easily available and …

Several methods are currently employed in the modification of starch obtained from different
botanical sources. Starch in its native form is limited in application due to retrogradation …

Imaging spectroscopy has emerged as a reliable analytical method for effectively
characterizing and quantifying quality attributes of agricultural products. By providing …

Three samples of native or untreated cassava starch were exposed to microwave radiation
for periods of 5, 10 or 15 min. The temperature of each sample was measured immediately …

Starch is extensively used in food applications for process convenience and to improve the
quality of food products at industrial levels. The contemporary research on starch has …

Near-infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) hyperspectral techniques in tandem with
chemometric analyses were employed for developing multispectral real-time systems …
