Abstract: Starch is modified
for three reasons. First, modified starch provides functional attributes in
food applications that native starches normally cannot provide. Second, starch
is abundant and readily available. Third, starch can provide an economic
advantage in many applications. Process for the production of modified starch
comprised the steps of (1) extracting starch from potato and sweet potato, and
(2) modifying the
starch to produced pre-gelatinized, acid
modified, and cold
water swelling starch. Tapioca gives the best performance when modified
by pre-gelatinization and cold water
swelling. The characteristic of the
pre-gelatinized tapioca were
swelling power 979,782%, water holding
capacity 480,391%, moisture
contents 8.48%, ash
content 0,006%, dan
yield 93,358%.
Keywords: acid modified, cold
water swelling starch, modified starch, pre-gelatinized
