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 …

The tropical tuber crops contain starch as the major component and thus act as important
source of starch. Except cassava and to a smaller extent sweet potato, starch from other …

Starch from tubers potato (Solanum tuberosum), taro (Alocassia indica), new cocoyam
(Xanthosoma sagitifolium), true yam (Dioscorea alata), and root cassava,(Manihot …

Native starch granules are semi-crystalline and resist hydrolysis by amylases. When
gelatinised, however, they are readily hydrolysed and converted to sugars and dextrins …

Starch from four cultivars (Carneval, Carrera, Grande and Keoma) of field pea (Pisum
sativum L.) was isolated and its physicochemical properties were compared with those of …

This review provides current information on starch and its molecular composition, common
and potential sources, and manufacturing processes. It also deals with the five groups of …

A prototype hybrid Photovoltaic Thermal (PV–T) solar dryer aided with Evacuated Tube
Collector (ETC) is presented for drying of cassava slices under the meteorological …

Starch from mung bean (Vigna radiata) was isolated and some of the important
characteristics determined. The yield of starch was 31.1% on a whole-seed basis. The …

The effect of mild heat treatment (below gelatinization temperature) towards the
susceptibility of granular starch to enzymatic hydrolysis was investigated. Tapioca and sweet …

Starches from eight Dioscorea alata cultivars grown in Jamaica were isolated and
characterized. The starches were found to possess the open hydrated hexagonal crystalline …
