Item Caracterización físico-química y funcional del almidón extraído de la papa china (Colocasia esculenta) cultivada en el Pacífico Colombiano(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2020) Hurtado Herrera, Janer Guillermo; Castillo Ayala, Jorge Enrique (Director)The evaluation of the physicochemical and functional properties of the starch extracted from the Chinese potato tubers (Colocasia esculenta) from the municipality of Timbiquí and López de micay – Cauca was carried out. The granules had particle size around (3.5-7.8 μm in diameter for sample 1 and 3.5-7.0 μm in diameter for sample 2); a high content of % amylose (67.6 and 70.7 respectively for M1 and M2) was found compared to other botanical sources, through the colorimetric method recommended by ISO 6647. The gelatinization temperatures were (78, 6 and 81.9 ° C, respectively) by heating a solution of the starch until a stable paste formed for a few seconds. The samples showed low water solubility (0.13 M1 and 0.23 M2 g / 100 mL) and a high water retention capacity (280.3 and 391.7% at 60 ° C) compared to 226% of the cassava and 162.8% for sago: which makes it a good quality starch. The gel pastes when subjected to a % processing of light at 650 nm in a Thermo Evo 201 UV spectrophotometer was (3.4 and 4.1%) respectively. Comparing these characteristics found in this tuber with other sources of starch commonly used in the industry, it is concluded that it can be used as a promising alternative in the food industry; In addition to having a high amylose content, it is a resistant starch, providing physiological health benefits.
