The objective of this study was to determine the quantities
of RS III that can be formed from cassava starch by
varying the processing conditions, and type and concentration
of solvent. Thermal transitions of the native cassava
starch and RS III were measured using a DSC.before sieving through a filter cloth. The starch milk was
allowed to sediment for 2 h before draining the filtrate.
The starch-cake was sun-dried over a period of 2 days
before determining its proximate composition using standard
AACC methods (1984). A Luci 100 colour difference
meter (Dr. Bruno Lange GmbH, Berlin, Germany) was
used to determine whiteness of the starch.
