Effects of extraction method on chemical composition and functional properties of yam starch (Dioscorea alata)/ <br> Efeito do método de extração na composição química e nas propriedades funcionais do amido de inhame (Dioscorea alata)
Yam tubers (Dioscorea alata) are a non-traditional starch source. Yam starch had been studied as a promising polymer for biofilm production because it contains about 30% of amylose, and amylose is responsible for the film-forming capacity of starches.
