Texture properties and organoleptic qualities of dry noodles from flour composites featuring giant swamp taro (Cyrtosperma merkusii) starch

Giant swamp taro (Cyrtosperma merkusii) is an endemic underutilized crop of North Sulawesi. Extracted starch of GST has the potential to be utilized for various food products such as dry noodles, replacing wheat flour in retrospect when blended with other starch-based flour or hydrocolloids. The advantages of GST are the presence of complex resistant starches at a considerably good composition in ratio to its digestible starch, making GST a potentially healthy food material. In this study,...
