Extraction and Characterization of Cassava, Potato and Mango Starches

Starches from cassava tubers, sweet potato, and mango seeds were isolated characterized. The starches' proximate, elemental composition, physicochemical physical properties, studied. Cassava tuber yielded 93.45 percent, while Potato Mango seed 88.65 78.45 respectively, in the proximate composition. When compared to at 5.49 potato starch 5.72, which have a highly acidic pH, had neutral pH of 6.9. moisture content extracted was significantly closed values 6.00 6.5 when 4.5 percent. (0.0012±0.003, 0.08 ±0.01) lower protein nitrogen levels than (0.35±0.00001) (0.06±0.03), (0.35±0.01) (0.06±0.01) (p <0.005). highest swelling capacity 0.940 cm3 0.285 0.250 for respectively. starches higher capacities 92.00 93.00 starch, has 75.2 greater absorption index 36.00, 24.10 23.65 showed no significant difference. sodium, potassium, calcium concentrations but magnesium phosphorus starch. All outstanding characteristics can be used interchangeably, especially food pharmaceuticals.
