Physicochemical properties of food grade acetylated cocoyam (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) starches

Starch was isolated from cocoyam (Xanthosoma sagittifolium). It was further modified by acetylation using NaOH and NaHCO3 at room temperature (28±3 ºC). The pasting and physicochemical properties of the native and modified starches were then studied. Pasting properties of the alkaline modified cocoy...
