Calcium carbonate has the potential to be used in development of medical materials, including biomaterials. Biocomposite is composed CaCO3 as matrix material and bioplastic from combination corn starch cassava reinforcement. This study aims determine mechanical properties such tensile strength bending/flexural with varying compositions bioplastic. Characterization biocomposite uses Scanning Ele...

Cassava tubers are an excellent source of carbohydrate and a competitive starch most traded internationally. It is highly desirable raw material for food industrial purpose due to its high dietary content. The economic value cassava products lies in the DMC (dry matter content). roots contain up 80-90 per cent by dry weight 80 starch. Increasing world population, limited land area, changing cli...

The aim of this study was to determine the best level of utilization of dried waste of cassava starch extraction (WCSEd) as a substitute for corn for lactating cows. Four lactating cows were fed diets with increasing levels (0%, 33%, 66% and 100%) of WCSEd as a substitute for corn. The intake and digestibility of dry matter and nutrients, milk production and composition, blood parameters of glu...

Bio-degradable cassava starch-based adhesives were produced from chemically gelatinized starch formulations. The varying combinations of process parameters applied include: concentration gelatinization modifier, mass % borax/starch, and temperature reaction mixture. physico-chemical for characterizing the adhesive samples viscosity, density, pH bonding strength. effects variation on quality ass...

Investigations were carried out with the aim of producing L-glutamic acid from Brevibacterium sp. by utilizing a locally available starchy substrate, cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). Initial studies were carried out in shake flasks, which showed that even though the yield was high with 85-90 DE (Dextrose Equivalent value), the maximum conversion yield (~34%) was obtained by using only partia...

Abstract: The objective of this work was to select cassava (Manihot esculenta) genotypes from the Brazilian germplasm bank with a functionality similar that waxy starch. A total 881 were pre-selected using principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering, their industrial potential compared 7745-5WX WX-Maize maize clones, both used as references. Two stood out: BGM0036 BGM0083. Samples ...
