Effect of Modifications on the Chemical Composition, X-Ray Diffraction Pattern and Scanning Morphology of Starches from Cocoyam (Colocasia esculenta and Xanthosoma sagittifolium)

T. P. Ojo, T. A. Sanni & S. O. Arinola · Asian Food Science Journal · 2023

The effect of annealing, heat moisture treatment and citric acid on major physicochemical properties of cocoyam starch was investigated. This was done in order to establish the optimum processing condition with the aim of enhancing the utilization capacity of the starch. Starch e...

Effect of Alum Treatment on Functional Properties of Cassava Starch

M. O. Adedokun & O. A. Adedokun · Asian Food Science Journal · 2018

Chemical modification is usually carried out to overcome the unstable properties of plant starches and improve their physical and functional characteristics during processing. Alum modification at different concentrations (1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, 4.0% and 5.0% w/v) with and without 10m...
