Starch was isolated from Mexican chayote tubers (Sechium edule Sw.) and the yield, physicochemical, rheological, and molecular characteristics were investigated. Commercial potato was used for comparison. Starch yield was ...

Potassium (K) is one of the most absorbed nutrients by cassava because it acts on the synthesis and starch accumulation in the storage roots. Here, we show that K application at the beginning of the second vegetative cycle ...

Starch is an important raw material in the fermentation industry for producing ethanol, which can then be used as renewable biofuel or as a basis for food, drink and pharmaceutical uses. Many tropical starch-producing ...

Physicochemical, structural and morphological characteristics of maize and cassava starches treated with 0.36% concentrated HCl in anhydrous methanol at WC for 1-8 h were analyzed and compared. Average yield of modified ...

Banana fertilization practices aim to increase agricultural yield and the effects of these practices on fruit components have not been well explored. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of phosphate fertilizer levels ...

Structural and physicochemical characteristics of cassava starch treated with 0.36% HCl in anhydrous ethanol during 1 and 12 h at 30, 40, and 50 degrees C followed by ball milling for 1 h were analyzed. Average yield of ...
