Abstract
Native starch from Xanthosoma violaceum was modified by acid hydrolysi s, oxidation and acetylation. The starches obtained by acid hydrolysis had higher solubility and lower swelling power and lower gelatinizati on temperature than the native starch these could be used in products that require high solid contents and low viscosity. The hypochlorite-o xidised starches obtained had lower viscosity than the native starch a nd could be applied in the food industry, mainly for gum candies manuf acture. The efficiency of the acetylation procedure was higher than th e efficiencies reported in the literature for other types of starch.
