Physicochemical, Microstructural, and Rheological Characterization of Tigernut (Cyperus esculentus) Starch
The aim of this study was to characterize the physicochemical properties of starch isolated from two varieties of tigernuts. The results showed wide variations between the two types of tigernuts. Mean granule sizes were 11.1 and 6.1 μm, respectively, for starch from the yellow and black while amylos...
