  By Jeje, O. Ayorinde, Oregbeme, I. Henry, Anakhu, E. A

  Abstract: The study was focused on finding alternative use for underutilized icacinia trichantha (gbegbe) and dioscorea dumentorum (esuru-igbo) for possible industrial utilization. Starches were isolated through aqueous method. The parameters determined are pH, ash and moisture contents, amylose content, gelatinization temperature, water absorption capacities, bulk density, tapped density and true density. The results showed that percentage yield was 70% for dioscorea dumentorum and 64.6% for icacinia trichantha. The physicochemical properties of …
