The study "Starch recovery from turmeric powder (Curcuma longa) after ethanol curcumin extraction in comparison to the conventional method" aimed to recover starch from the waste generated from the curcumin extraction by using ethanol. The physicochemical properties of the isolated starch such as microscopic morphology, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, total starch, iodine binding capacity of starch, curcumin content determined by highperformance liquid chromatography were compared to that of starch obtained from the conventional method of extraction from the fresh rhizome. |
