| dc.description.abstract | MOCAF (modified cassava flour) is a product derived from cassava flour that uses the
principles of fermented cassava cell modification (Subagio, 2006). During the production of MOCAF,
side product in the form of starch has been produced but has not been utilized. This study aimed to
assess fermentation lengths using BAL toward chemical characteristics, granule amylography and
morphology. The method used was completely randomized design (CRD) with one factor, consisting
of fermentation lengths of 0, 24, 48 and 72 hours, and control which were replicated (3) three times.
The results of chemical characteristics showed that the longer the value of amylopectin content, total
acid, total sugar, the higher the fermentation, while the pH value of reducing sugar, amylose
decreased, the granular form was pockmarked and had bigger and bigger size. Amylography of pasta
showed the increase in time, temperature, (PV), (TV), (FV) and decrease in (SB) and (BD). By
recognizing the amylographic characteristic, the application is easier as an improver ingredient in
food products associated with characteristics such as viscosity, shelf life, retrogradation and
syneresis. The results showed that the length of fermentation affected the chemical characteristics,
granular amylography and morphology of biologically modified starch. | en_US |
