In recent years there has been significant progress and extensive research conducted on tropical root starches and especially on some of the lesser known tuber crop starches. There has also been a shift towards using biomaterials in place of synthetic materials in various applications. As researchers investigate the availability of natural products with similar properties, starch has been identified as a reliable alternative to these synthetic materials.Reflecting the growing body of research, Tropical Tuber Starches:- Explores the structure, properties and applications of tropical root and tuber starches (cassava, sweet potato, aroids, yams and other minor tuber crops)- Includes a chapter on the methodology for starch characterisation- Covers patents on starch-based products and the commercial potential of tropical root starchesA valuable resource for researchers and students, plant breeders, and commercial producers working with, or considering working with, tropical tuber starches.
