Abstrakt: The cassava (Manihot esculenta) root provides sustainable cheap source of starch that can be modified using microwave and hydrothermal treatments. The modified starch is of great demand in the market for its varied food applications. The microwave modified wet milling dry chips starch, microwave modified pulp starch (MD-PS), microwave modified dry chips starch were the microwave treated starch obtained from starches of pulp starch (PS), wet milling dry chips starch and dry milling dry chips starch, respectively. On the other hand, by using hydrothermal treatment followed by freeze-drying in PS gave autoclave freeze-dried 10% PS (AF-10PS), autoclave freeze-dried 20% PS (AF-20PS). The physicochemical and functional properties of the samples were investigated. The calorific value of modified starch was found to be 341–358 kcal/100 g. The microwave-modified starch lowered true densities as compared to hydrothermal treated starch. FT-IR spectra of microwave-modified starch confirmed six prominent peaks between 4500–500 cm−1. Thermal treatment affected the digestibility and found lower digestion resistibility in modified starch compared to native starch. The structures of the starch granules were more enzymatically susceptible in hydrothermally modified starch. The microwave-modified starch resulted higher resistant starch as compared to hydrothermally modified starch. The cookies quality using MD-PS was checked by developing with 10–40% level of substitution of wheat flour. Overall cookies acceptability was found above sensory score 5. This study will help to provide functional ingredients that serve health benefit beyond nutrition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
