Title
Relationships among specific gravity, dry matter and starch contents of cassava roots
Rubén Darío Pérez Pérez; F. G. Villamayor 1984
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Specific gravity and dry matter were significantly correlated in cassava roots (r=0.82).
- Association Specific gravity and starch content were significantly correlated in cassava roots (r=0.71).
- Association Dry matter and starch content were significantly correlated in cassava roots (r=0.99).
- Association Higher specific gravity corresponded to higher starch and dry matter contents.
- Method / resource Specific gravity sufficed for rough estimation of starch or dry matter percentage.
