X-ray diffraction pattern and relative crystallinity of irradiated arrowroot starch
After cereals, tubers and roots are the major source of starch for food and industrial uses. Arrowroot refers to any plant of the genus Marantha, but the term is most commonly used to describe the easily digested starch obtained from the rhizomes of ...

Tacca's productivity in dry tropical zones increases with rainfall and land cover gradients. Phosphorus (P) content in soil is positively correlated with plant aboveground growth traits (total height, leaf area) and tuber weight of the species, whereas potassium (K) is correlated only with tuber weight.

Cassava starch films were functionalized with Ucuúba fat and cellulose nanocrystals to tailor wettability, optical, mechanical, and barrier properties. Integrating Amazonian bioresources with nanotechnology enables sustainable edible coatings with tunable performance for fresh food preservation and enhanced UV protection.

Abstract This study evaluated the influence of cold plasma treatment on the physicochemical characteristics of glucan exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Enterococcus hirae OL616073 isolated from idli batter. The glucan EPS was exposed to pin‐to‐plate atmospheric cold plasma at 170–230 V for 5–15 min, generating cold plasma‐treated glucan (CPTG ...
