Abstract

This paper describes the isolation and physicochemical characterization of starch obtained from Parkia biglobosa (African locust bean). The results show that the properties of starch from this source compare favorably with those of corn starch BP (British Pharmacopoeia), and suggest that it could be useful as a stabilizer in baking powders and as an emulsifier in the food industry. © 2009 IUPAC.
