“…According to Rickard, Asaoka and Blanshard (1991), for starches from non-cereal sources, the cassava starch is the most susceptible to α-amylase, and the potato starch, the most resistant. It is well known that cassava and sweet potato starches display an A-type X-ray diffraction pattern, whereas potato starch shows B-type pattern (COTTRELL et al, 1995;JANE et al, 1999;MCPHERSON;HOOVER, 2001;SRICHUWONG et al, 2005). We also found hydrolysis percentage was calculated in relation to the dry basis (db) starch weight by Equation 1:…”
