The interplay between yam (Dioscorea sp.) starch botanical source, micromeritics and functionality in paracetamol granules for reconstitution

Isolation, Composition, Structure, Properties, Modifications, and Uses of Yam Starch

“…In vivo digestion and in vitro enzyme susceptibility of yam starch has been related (Riley and others ). The glycemic index (GI) of cooked tubers of D. cayenensis , D. alata , D. rotundata , and D. esculenta consumed by humans ranged from 68 to 97, and was positively correlated to enzyme susceptibility to porcine pancreatic α‐amylase (13.7% to 21.3%) (Riley and others ).…”

High GI, like the enzyme susceptibility, was related to lower amylose content, the presence of A‐type polymorph, and smaller granules with higher specific surface area (Riley and others ).…”

Physicochemical and drug release characteristics of acetylated starches of five Lagenaria siceraria cultivars

“…Acetylation improved the porosity of starch significantly as the degree of substitution increased among different cultivars. Particle density increased significantly (P < 0.05) on acetylation, which resulted in the improved granule's compressibility [28].…”

Characterization and evaluation of smart starch from Kyllinga nemoralis

“…In addition, the particle shape and size may have an influence in the packing down behavior of materials during die filling and compression. The particle size and shape of the starch may be responsible for the density values [13,34]. The Carr's index was found as 22.77 for KNSS.…”
