Abstract

The uses of root and tuber crops starches are determined by their physical and chemical properties which vary from crop to crop and with ecological and agronomic influences.
The basic qualities of importance for the use of starch for food, feed and industrial uses include gelatinization and pasting properties, enzymic digestibility, swelling power, and solubility.
This paper provides a discussion of these factors and identifies the needs for future research in the subject.
