Extraction and characterisation of cassava starch cultivated in different locations in Sabah, Malaysia ... : استخراج وتوصيف نشا الكسافا المزروع في مواقع مختلفة في صباح، ماليزيا ...

This work aimed to determine the physicochemical and functional properties of starch cassava grown in two different locations in Sabah, namely Tawau and Semporna. In this study, the starch of the cassava was extracted using a wet method and analysed for its physicochemical and functional properties. The total starch content of cassava grown in Semporna showed a higher value (61.21 g/100 g) compared to the sample from Tawau (51.77 g/100 g). No significant difference (p>0.05) observed for starch yield extracted from these two locations. However, there was a significant difference (p<0.05)... Mehr ...
