Production of Corn (<i>Zea mays</i>) Starch and Cassava (<i>Manihot esculenta</i>) Starch and Their Application as Yogurt Stabilizer

Extraction and Optimization of Potato Starch and Its Application as a Stabilizer in Yogurt Manufacturing

Starch is increasingly used as a functional group in many industrial applications and foods due to its ability to work as a thickener. The experimental values of extracting starch from yellow skin potato indicate the processing conditions at 3000 rpm and 15 min as optimum for the highest yield of extracted starch. The effect of adding different concentrations of extracted starch under the optim...

Enzymatic Modifications of Pea Protein and Its Application in 1 Protein-cassava and Corn Starch Gels

Characterization of normal and waxy corn starch for bioethanol production.

Objectives of this study were to compare ethanol production between normal and waxy corn using a cold fermentation process and to understand effects of starch structures and properties on ethanol production. Ethanol yields positively correlated (p < 0.01) with starch contents of kernels of the normal and waxy corn. The average starch-ethanol conversion efficiency of waxy corn (93.0%) was substa...

Genetic modification of cassava for enhanced starch production.

To date, transgenic approaches to biofortify subsistence crops have been rather limited. This is particularly true for the starchy root crop cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). Cassava has one of the highest rates of CO(2) fixation and sucrose synthesis for any C3 plant, but rarely reaches its yield potentials in the field. It was our hypothesis that starch production in cassava tuberous roots ...

Optimum Hydrolysis Conditions of Cassava Starch for Glucose Production

Acid and enzymatic hydrolysis of cassava starch to glucose (fermentable sugar) were investigated and compared. And the effects of acid concentration, pH, temperature and time on the yield of glucose were studied. Experiments were carried out at a temperature range of (60 – 100)C between 30 minutes and 4 hours. (0.2 – 1.0)M strength of H2SO4 acid was used and pH values range of 4 – 7 was conside...
