Syed Insha Rafiq, Shumaila Jan, Sukhcharn Singh, and D. C. Saxena . Extraction of Starch from Differently Treated Horse Chestnut Slices. International Conference on Advancements in Engineering and Technology. ICAET2015, 11 (August 2015), 6-13.
Starch was isolated from dehydrated Horse Chestnut slices dried at temperature of 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90°C and rehydrated chips (dried at 50 and 60°C) at rehydration temperature of 25 and 40°C. Optimization was done on the basis of starch yield. The highest yield was found in the sample dried at 50°C. Physicochemical properties of optimized starch were determined. Color values indicate that the starch was light in color with L value of 96. 2. The starch was having a neutral pH with zero carboxyl content. The bulk density value was 0. 85g/ml and sediment value was 36ml. Light transmittance showed a decreased trend with increased storage period of 120hrs. Syneresis and freeze thaw values were increased from 0 to 3. 24 % and 0 to 20. 21 % with storage period.
