When cassava is harvested too early, it often leads to reduction in yield, while delayed harvest leads to development of woody and fibrous tuberous roots, and reduction in starch content. The optimum harvest time is not known. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of genotype,...

Starch separated from eleven sweet potato varieties was subjected to heat moisture treatment (HMT) at 30% moisture and 110°C for 3 hours. Following HMT, there were no significant changes in physicochemical properties of the starches. This was attributed to limited moisture content (30%) to influe...

Cassava is an important food and cash crop in Malawi. It is also becoming increasingly important for industrial use. The aim of this study was to investigate the native starch quality of different Malawi cassava genotypes. Trials were conducted at Chitedze and Makoka in Malawi in the 2000/01 seas...
