title: Physicochemical, morphological and pasting properties of acid treated starches from different botanical sources.
abstract: Effect of acid modification on physico-chemical, morphological and pasting properties of banana, sweet potato, lotus stem and wheat starches were studied. Results revealed that swelling power, solubility and water binding capacity of all starches decreased by acid modification. By acid modification starch granules from different varieties tended to appear fused and less smooth than the native starch granules. The pasting properties of native starches of all different varieties have significantly decreased following acid modification. Acid modified starches showed higher syneresis as compared to native starches.
