Effects of Variety and Growing Location on Physicochemical Properties of Starch from Sweet Potato Root Tuber.

ABSTRACT: Three sweet potato varieties with purple-, yellow-, and white-fleshed root tubers were planted in four growing locations. Starches were isolated from their root tubers, their physicochemical properties (size, iodine absorption, amylose content, crystalline structure, ordered degree, lamellar thickness, swelling power, water solubility, and pasting, thermal and digestion properties) were determined to investigate the effects of variety and growing location on starch properties in sweet potato. The results showed that granule size (D[4,3]) ranged from 12.1 to 18.2 μm, the iodine absorption parameters varied from 0.260 to 0.361 for OD620, from 0.243 to 0.326 for OD680 and from 1.128 to 1.252 for OD620/550, and amylose content varied from 16.4% to 21.2% among starches from three varieties and
