Physicochemical and Pasting Properties of Starch Extracted from Four Yam Varieties

Physicochemical characterization of starch extracted from Malaysian wild yam (Dioscorea hispida Dennst.)

Using a sedimentation method, the extracted starch from Dioscorea hispida tuber was characterized for their morphological, thermal and other physicochemical properties such as total starch content, moisture content, pH, water binding capacity (WBC), solubility and swelling power. The starch content extracted from the tuber was 11.46% with the WBC and moisture content were 107% and 249% respecti...

Characterization of banana, potato, and rice starch blends for their physicochemical and pasting properties

The properties of blends of banana, potato, and rice starches were studied to assess their suitability as an alternate for chemically modified starches. The blends of banana, potato, and rice starches were prepared in the respective ratio of 1:3:2, 3:2:1, and 2:1:3. The blend with higher proportion of banana and rice starches (BPR213) showed highest water absorption capacity and oil absorption ...

Effects of Alum on Pasting and Some Physicochemical Properties of Cassava (Manihot esculentum) Starch

Effects of addition of alum (0.00 -1.0% w/w) on pasting and some physicochemical characteristics of cassava starch were investigated with view to evaluate the potential of alum as a cassava starch modifying agent. The modified starch was prepared by pre-treatment of the native starch with alkaline at room temperature prior to modification using alum. Alum modified cassava starch were characteri...

Preparation and Pasting Properties of Wheat and Corn Starch Phosphates'

Cereal Chem. 70(2):137-144 Wheat and corn starches were phosphorylated in a semidry state at P from phospholipids), and its pasting properties showed optimum 1300C with 5% (based on dry starch) sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) thickening power with shear stability when cooked at 950C. The best and/or 2% sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP). All phosphorylation corn starch phosphate, judging from its pa...
