Physicochemical properties of starch and prebiotic potential of oligosaccharides from dioscorea hispida

The underutilised Dioscorea hispida Dennst. tuber was processed for its starch and was evaluated for its physicochemical properties. The tuber contained 97.95% total starch comprising of amylose (25.27%) and amylopectin (72.68%). Dioscorea hispida starch contained crude protein (0.42%), crude fat (0...
