and zhebeinone, among others However,starch is the major component of the bulbs of
F. thunbergii species, making up approximately 80% of the total biomass Researchers have extracted starch from different fritillaria and have investigated their physicochemical (e.g., amylose content, swelling power (SP), solubility(SOL), water-binding capacity (WBC), syneresis, and turbidity),morphological (including shape and size), thermal, and crystalline properties.
Fresh F. thunbergiiis difficult to store and can easily rot during storage. Dried
