Effect of gamma irradiation on the physicochemical and morphological properties of starch extracted from lotus stem harvested from Dal lake of Jammu and Kashmir, India

Starch isolated from lotus stem was treated by gamma-irradiation at different doses of 5, 10 and 20 kGy. Physicochemical, morphological and pasting properties of irradiated lotus stem starches were investigated and these properties differed significantly. Carboxyl content, water absorption capacity,...
