Regulation of starch synthesis in cassava [PDF]

, 2004
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a root crop, one of the world’s most important but under-exploited staple food crops and source of income. It is a high starch producer with levels between 73.7 and 84.9% of its total storage root dry weight. Increasingly, there is a need for diverse novel starches for both food and non-food applications.

Effects of processing conditions on hydrolysis of cassava starch

, 2007
Different procedures for hydrolyzing raw cassava starch were studied, namely: acid, acid-enzyme and enzyme-enzyme hydrolysis. The effects of temperature, initial cassava starch concentration, acid concentration and time on acid hydrolysis using dilute ...

Making space for living and livelihoods in Vietnam: The everyday politics of peri‐urban land use

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.
Preserving agricultural land for rice cultivation in Vietnam is a national priority. Yet in many areas, farmers continue to repurpose rice land for non‐agricultural uses in violation of state regulations. Drawing on the conceptual framework of ‘everyday politics’ (EP), this paper examines this tension through research conducted in two peri‐urban ...

Commercially Exploited Seaweed Species in Africa: Occurrences, Chemical Composition, Current Value Chain and Opportunities for Value Addition

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
Commercially exploited seaweed species in Africa, their biochemical composition, current uses, and value chain are reviewed. Potential value‐addition of seaweed is suggested regionally in Africa amongst countries producing similar seaweed species. ABSTRACT Africa has a wide range of coastal environments that support a diverse array of seaweed species ...

Phenotypic diversity of starch granules in cassava germplasm

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2017
Demand for the development of cassava varieties with different native starches has guided the search for these characteristics in the germplasm of Manihot esculenta Crantz. Therefore, the objective of this study was to estimate the genetic diversity of cassava accessions for root and starch granule characteristics to guide the future industrial ...

Development and characterization of edible films based on native cassava starch, beeswax, and propolis

NFS Journal, 2020
Cassava starch has received research focus due to its low cost, and excellent film-forming ability. However, cassava starch films with relatively strong hydrophilicity greatly limits its application in industries.

Activating Paper Applying Gelatin, Starch and Chitosan Coatings Loaded With O/W Emulsions Encapsulating Rutin, Carvacrol and α‐Tocopherol

Packaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 1061-1082, August 2026.
Emulsion type governed the microstructure and functionality of papers coated with biopolymers matrix loaded with hydrophobic bioactives encapsulated into O/W emulsions. Emulsified systems improved UV–Vis barrier and antioxidant activity, whereas gelatin coatings with conventional or Pickering emulsions provided the greatest mechanical reinforcement ...

Investigation of mechanical properties of briquette product of sawdust-charcoal as a potential domestic energy source

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2017
This research investigated the relaxed densities of biomass briquettes produced from combination of sawdust and charcoal.  Cassava starch gel and orange waste were used as binder for briquetting. Five sizes; 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm and 1.0 mm and
