Changes in the carbohydrate constituents of cassava root‐tuber (Manihot utilissima pohl) during growth

Abstract: Sucrose formed the bulk of the sugars in cassava root-tubers, accounting for more than 69% of the total sugars. Other sugars included fructose, glucose and maltose. Maltose was consistently present as the lowest amount. The highest concentration of sugars (5.7%) was attained nine months after planting. Starch accounted for the highest proportion of the carbohydrates. A peak value of 81 % was observed eight months after planting. The decrease to 78 % at nine months was accompanied by an increase in sugar concen… Show more

“…All 48 selected isolates did not hydrolyze starch when grown on modified MRS agar but produced linamarase in the form of β -glucosidase and pectinase enzymes. This result was similar to earlier reports of Ketiku and Oyenuga (1972) which confirmed most lactic acid bacteria as non-amylolytic even though 84% of the cassava carbohydrate is in the form of starch. Amylase activity during fermentation could then be said to be induced, in the presence of starch since the utilised organisms could be referred to as non-amylolytic.…”

“…O percentual de pectina para os dois cultivares variou de 10,8 a 15,7% do peso da inicial da parede celular, aos 7 meses a fração péctica média obtida para ambos cultivares foi 191,9mg e aos 19 meses 164,8mg e não houve diferença entre cultivares ou épocas de A maior fração isolada de parede celular foi α-celulose (57,2 a 70,4%), em média 1121,3mg para as plantas com menor tempo de plantio e 715,2mg para as mais velhas. Houve uma redução nos valores de α-celulose com os tempos de plantio, concordando com os resultados obtidos por KETIKU & OYENUGA [12] que encontraram 4,5% de celulose aos 5 meses de plantio e 3,4% aos 9 meses de plantio, mas determinadas em tecidos de raízes e não em paredes celulares isoladas. SALVADOR et al [23] encontraram 48,2% de celulose em parede celular isolada pela técnica de NODA et al [18].…”

“…Provavelmente havia alguma diferença na composição da hemicelulose das raízes mais velhas que dificultou a sublimação da água durante a liofilização causando o colapso das amostras. KETIKU & OYENUGA [12] encontraram em média 1% de hemicelulose em mandiocas colhidas entre o quinto e o nono mês após o plantio, enquanto SALVADOR et al [23] encontraram 22,2%. CARVALHO, CHAGAS & COSTA [5] determinaram em média 0,28% de pectina, 1,9% de celulose e 3,7% de hemicelulose por 100g de tecido de mandioca para três cultivares em plantas com 18 meses de plantio, mas baseado em tecido integral e não em paredes celulares isoladas.…”

“…A composição de carboidratos da raiz tuberosa de Manihot esculenta (mandioca) foi investigada por Ketiku & Oyenuga (1972). Esses autores verificaram que as frações de celulose e hemicelulose correspondem juntos a menos de 7 % do carboidrato total e que somente xilose e glucose constituem a fração hemicelulósica extraída.…”
