Phitogeography and industrialization of the taro’s starch (Colocasia esculenta)
We begin by explaining the general terms of the Colocasia esculenta’s chemical properties, agricultural practices and food value as well as its geographic and taxonomic distribution. Thetaro’s starch provides an alternative for pharmaceutical use and even a possible industrialization of its grains b...
