The functional properties of mixtures of maize, cassava and yam starches and their relationships with microstructural characteristics were investigated. Experiments were performed following the simplex-centroid design with ...

The avocado (Persea americana, Miller) is a very popular tree worldwide. It is native to Central/North America (Mexico) and its fruit is healthy and is consumed in large quantities worldwide. Several studies revealed that ...

The effects of different doses of gamma radiation on the thermoanalytical, structural and pasting properties of black rice (Oryza sativa L.) flour were studied using thermogravimetry and derivative thermogravimetry (TG-DTG), ...

Model food systems based on starch (100g kg-1), sucrose (150g kg-1) and water (750g kg-1)with and without the addition of a low proportion of hydrocolloid (xanthan gum, guar gum or sodium alginate) were gelatinised, frozen ...

Starches from six different species (cassava, arrowroot, sweet potato, yam, canna and ginger) were isolated and some structural and physicochemical characteristics analysed and correlated. Phosphorous and amylose contents ...
