“…The results of color transmittance can be linked with the weight of scum removed and higher refractive index, where the highest removal of scum is observed for starch, indicating the highest removal of impurities. 26 Xanthan gum and starch possess a high L* value of 21.27. Fresh juice has a negative a* value of −0.26, and in the case of clarified juices, the lowest a* value is for the lime-clarified juice, which is more desirable for sugarcane juice as it suggests a greenish color.…”

“…As a result, the extraction of cellulose was deemed to be adequate, since no traces of hemicellulose are evident. There was also an 81:42 % loss in mass between 220 ı C and 340 ı C, which would be associated with cellulose pyrolysis [18,19].…”

This paper’s aim was the synthesis of a flocculant useful in the production of panela as an alternative to replace polyacrylamide and improve food safety in Boyacá, a Colombian district. The cellulose was extracted by using a treatment with potassium hydroxide and followed by acid hydrolysis. From the extracted cellulose, cationic dialdehyde cellulose (CDAC) was synthesized and both cellulose and CDAC were characterized using infrared spectroscopy, FTIR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DSC) Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and RAMAN. The cellulose extracted by hydrolysis from sugarcane bagasse with bleaching, gave yield of 50 % and crystallinity index of 77 %. Its modification to aldehyde is 95 % reliable at a temperature of 65 osoC and 2 h; with higher temperature and time the performance is affected. The dialdehyde process allows a modification to be carried out and to be more easily attacked at carbons 2 and 3, leaving cationized cellulose for later use as a flocculant in the panela production process as a traditional solution of flocculants and polyacrylamide. Extraction, modification, and tests for the clarification of the panela juice were carried out in triplicate.

“…Starch present in taro mucilage can be considered a major impurity that affects its quality and is not beneficial for emulsification [ 26 ]. Apart from extraction methods, various factors such as maturity stage, distribution, molecular size, degree of branching, structural linkages, presence of hydrophobic components, and monomeric compositions also affect the functional properties of taro mucilage [ 27 , 28 ]. Similarly, the physiological stages of taro rhizomes showed variation in the yield of mucilage, as observed by Tavares et al [ 21 ].…”

Taro (Colocasia esculenta) is an important source of carbohydrates as an energy source and is used as a staple food throughout the world. It is rich in mucilage and starch granules, making it a highly digestible ingredient. Mucilage can act as a matrix and a thickening, binding, emulsifying, or foaming agent in food, pharmaceutical, and several other fields of research. Moreover, mucilage can be extracted from several living organisms and has excellent functional properties, such as water-holding, oil-holding, and swelling capacities. Therefore, these remarkable functional properties make mucilage a promising ingredient with possible industrial applications. Furthermore, several extraction techniques, including enzyme-assisted, ultrasonication, microwave-assisted, aquatic, and solvent extraction methods, are used to obtain quantitative amounts of taro mucilage. Coldwater extraction with ethanol precipitation can be considered an effective and cost-effective technique to obtain high-quality mucilage with suitable industrial applications, whereas the ultrasonication method is more expensive but results in a higher amount of mucilage than other emerging techniques. Mucilage can also be used as a fat replacer or reducer, dye remover, coating agent, and antioxidating agent. Therefore, in this review, we detail the key properties related to the extraction techniques, chemical composition, and characterization of taro mucilage, along with its suitable applications and health benefits.
