Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and mechanical properties of edible films made from native and modified cush-cush yam and cassava starch
TL;DR: In this article, the uniaxial tensile, microstructural and barrier properties of the films were evaluated to determine their potential as a replacement for existing synthetic materials used in the food industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Acetylation on Some Properties of Rice Starch
Zurima González,Elevina Pérez +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, commercial rice starch, in aqueous slurry (42% starch solids), was acetylated with 6.3% acetic anhydride (on a dry starch basis).
Journal ArticleDOI
Physico-chemical properties of edible films derived from native and phosphated cush-cush yam and cassava starches
TL;DR: The physicochemical properties of each of the different starch films were evaluated and compared in order to determine their potential applications in the food industry as mentioned in this paper, and the characteristics of the cassava films developed suggest that they would make good packaging materials, while films derived from cush-cush yam are more suitable as food coatings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of indigestible pyrodextrins from different starch sources.
TL;DR: Experiments with lentil and cassava starches showed that changing dextrinization conditions also affects the susceptibility to enzymatic hydrolysis of the product, and pyrodextrinization seems to be an effective way to produce indigestible glucans from different starches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of some properties of starches isolated from Xanthosoma sagittifolium (tannia) and Colocassia esculenta (taro)
TL;DR: The gelatinization profile and changes in the heat flow or enthalpy during the gelatinization process of Xanthosoma sagitifolium (tannia) was evaluated by DSC methodology.
