This study characterized the physical, chemical, structural, morphological, and thermal properties of a non-conventional starch extracted from the Andean tuber, Cubio. The results showed that Cubio starch exhibits comparable characteristics to commercial potato starch, with good stability, thermal stability, and transparency.
This work aimed to characterize the physicochemical, structural, morphological, and thermal properties of a non-conventional starch obtained from cubio (Tropaeolum tuberosum), as well as to evaluate the potential use of this native Andean tuber in the preparation of biodegradable packaging. The cubio starch (CUS) showed an inter-mediated apparent amylose content (31.2 %) accompanied by a high CIE whiteness index (90.8). About the morphology and particle size, the CUS exhibited irregular oval and round shapes and a smooth surface with a mean particle diameter of 14.04 +/- 0.1 mu m. Although it showed good stability regarding pasting properties, the final viscosity was low. Native CUS exhibits a typical B-type diffraction structure, with a relative crystallinity of 16 %. The resistant starch (RS) fraction of the CUS was 94 %, indicating a low susceptibility to enzymatic hydrolysis. The thermal analysis demonstrated that the CUS showed good thermal stability. Additionally, the films prepared using CUS as raw material showed continuous surfaces without porosities, good thermal stability, and high transparency. The results of this work demonstrate the industrial potential of the CUS as it presents characteristics comparable to commercial potato starch.
