“…6C). Similar results were presented by Hernandez-Uribe, Agama-Acevedo, Gonzalez-Soto, Bello-Perez, and Vargas-Torres (2011), who also described chayote tuber starch as oval and polygonal in shape with sizes between 10 and 25 m. Similar morphology has been found for mango, cassava, sweet potato and ginger starches, with average sizes of their round, truncated and polygonal shapes of ca.15 m (Peroni, Rocha, Franco, 2006;Simão et al, 2008) On the other hand, Jiménez-Hernández, Salazar-Montoya, and Ramos-Ramírez (2007) described chayote tuber granules as having sizes of a larger range of between 7 and 50 m. By comparison, potato starch granules range in size from 10 to 85 m (Jane, Kasemsuwan, Leas, Zobel, & Robyt, 1994).…”
