This study evaluated the effect of autoclaving process on the production of resistant starch (RS) from cassava starch. RS was prepared by debranching, autoclaving and storage of cassava starch from two Nigeria varieties (TMS 30572 and TMS 98/0581). Starch suspensions were prepared with different ...
