Abstract:The objective of the research was to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of
Tarap fruit starch. In this study, young Tarap fruit starch was extracted and the percentage
of total starch, resistant starch, amylose and amylopectin were determined. Scanning
electron microscope was used to evaluate the morphological features of the starch granule.
Swelling, pasting, gelatinization, retrogradation and in vitro digestibility were also
investigated. A total of 17.85% starch was successfully extracted from … Show more
