Starch is the most abundant biomass and potential replacement of single-use packaging; however, lack water durability wet strength restrict applicability starches. Hemiacetal/acetals cross-linked starch film have stability, possess poor owing to crystallinity. In this study, we prepared TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofiber (TCNF)/starch composite films by mixing different-storage-duration native ...

The effect of solid content (2.5-10%, w/v) and temperature (30-70°C) on the viscosity of tapioca meal from three cassava varieties was investigated in this study. Viscosity measurements were conducted using a digital rotational Brookfield viscometer. The viscosity of tapioca meal increased with increasing solid content and decreasing viscometer speeds. An empirical power-law equation fitted the...

Starch is a major storage product of many economically important crops such as wheat, rice, maize, tapioca, and potato. A large-scale starch processing industry has emerged in the last century. In the past decades, we have seen a shift from the acid hydrolysis of starch to the use of starch-converting enzymes in the production of maltodextrin, modified starches, or glucose and fructose syrups. ...

Cereal Chem. 76(5):682–687 The effects of starch type on the properties of baked starch foams were investigated. Starch types used for baking were normal corn, normal potato, waxy corn, high-amylopectin potato, wheat, and tapioca. Solids content of the starch batters used to bake foam trays ranged from 25 to 45%. Processing parameters and physical properties of the foams were examined. Starch-f...

An aqueous solution of tapioca starch was successfully used as a chelating agent in the sol-gel synthesis Co0.7Me0.3Fe2O4, where Me denotes Co, Mn, Cu, Ni, or Zn. The hysteresis loops all sintered ferrites revealed ferrimagnetic properties. saturation magnetization reduced Co0.7Cu0.3Fe2O4 and Co0.7Ni0.3Fe2O4 because ion substitutions with smaller magnetic moments. Interestingly, exhibited highe...

Resistant starches are non-digestible starches that are fermented in the colon by microbiota. These carbohydrates are prebiotic and can be beneficial to consumer health. Many types of resistant starch exist with varying physical properties that may result in differences in fermentability. The objective of this research project was to compare potential prebiotic effects and fermentability of fou...

Native starches contain variable amounts of phosphorus. Samec and coworkers (1, 2) first showed that the phosphorus-containing components are not identical in all starches. In cereal starches most, if not all, of the phosphorus is contained in phosphatides which are loosely bound to the polysaccharide. Other starches such as potato, arrowroot, tapioca, and sago contain phosphorus esterified wit...

Mango suffers from numerous diseases throughout its life due to fungal growth. Primarily, mango is infected with anthracnose, a disease caused by Collectotrichum gloeosporioides. In the present study, fruits were coated zinc oxide (ZnO) and tapioca starch solution at different concentrations stored room temperature for week. The growth of any black spots on outer surface fruit peel was observed...
