This work aims at examining the physical, chemical and functional properties of composite flour produced with cassava, rice, soybean flours, and potato starch and added with 0.5% xanthan gum. Nine blends of composite flours were prepared by homogenously mixing rice flour, cassava flour, soybean flour, and potato starch (RF:CF:SF:PS) in the proportions of 30:50:15:4.5, 30:45:20:4.5, 30:40:25:4.5...

Potato starch is characterized by discernibly high content of starch-bound phosphate monoester groups, and metal cations are attached to the groups ion forces. A level divalent appears lead good viscosity stability potato ionically cross-linking esters. However, starches manufactured in factories Hokkaido, northernmost island Japan, do not show due potassium low cation content. To overcome this...

Wang, M., Jiang, J., Tan, Z.L., Tang, S.X., Sun, Z.H. and Han, X.F. 2009. In situ ruminal crude protein and starch degradation of three classes of feedstuffs in goats. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 36: 23-28. Ruminal crude protein (CP) and starch degradability of three classes of feedstuffs: cereals (maize, wheat, barley, buckwheat, rice, millet and sorghum), legumes (horse bean, soybean, pea and mung b...

The effects of incorporating various montmorillonite nanoclays into wheat, potato, corn, and waxy corn starch samples were examined by rheology and X-ray diffraction. The nanoclays included the hydrophilic Cloisite NaC clay as well as the more hydrophobic Cloisite 30B, 10A, and 15A clays. Frequency sweep and creep results for wheat starch–nanoclay samples at room temperature indicated that the ...

From the literature and from numerous experiments made at the Scientific Institute of Fertilizers, it is well known that high amounts of chlorides lower the percentage of starch in potato tubers. While the depressing influence of fertilizers containing chlorine on the total yield of potatoes is not always manifested, the decrease of the starch content in the tubers may be considered a constant ...

Three phase partitioning (TPP) of starch and its derivatives was carried out by adding tert-butanol to the aqueous solution of the polysaccharides in presence of ammonium sulfate. Starch and its modified forms could be recovered in more than 90% yield in the form of an interfacial layer between aqueous and organic phases. Quantitative FT-IR spectral analysis of TPP-treated potato starch reveale...

Sweet potato belongs to Ipomoea series batatas and is thought to have originated in Central America and Northern South America. World sweet potato production is around 106 million tons in an area of about 8.1 million ha. Asia is the world’s largest sweet potato-producing region and China is the world’s leading sweet potato-producing country accounting for about 76% of production. Sweet potato h...
