Cassava and maize starch were irradiated with an ultraviolet beam of light (337.8 nm) obtained from Blumlien flat plate transmission line transversely excited atmospheric pressure nitrogen gas laser. Irradiation was carried out on solid starch with and without addition of either zinc, magnesium or titanium oxide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
