Detection Of Mycotoxin And Effect Of Mould On Functional Properties Of Cassava Starch (Manihot esculenta)
ABSTRACT
Mycotoxin has attracted worldwide attention due to the
significance losses associated with their impact on most foods such as cassava
starch. Cassava starch from improved cassava variety (TMS 30572) was analyzed
for mycotoxin contamination immediately after production and there was no
detection of mycotoxin. The starch sample was analyzed for some functional
properties such as swelling power, solubility, water adsorption capacity, bulk
density, emulsification capacity and gelatinization temperature. The results obtained
were 1.10%, 71.0%, 1.05%, 0.93%, 52.62%, and 63.70°c respectively. After 5
weeks of storage in a refrigerator, the starch was analyzed for mycotoxin and
Aflatoxin B1 was detected, the functional properties analysis was repeated and
the following results were obtained for swelling power, solubility, water
absorption capacity, bulk density, emulsification and gelatinization
temperature 0.94%, 65.72%, 1.3%,0.89%, 48.30% and 66.50°c respectively. From
the study, mould contamination of cassava starch is very dangerous, mould free
fresh cassava roots should be used for processing of cassava starch.
