Enzymatic roles in cassava starch deterioration
Author(s): Rosette Jere
Abstract: Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a major source of dietary starch, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. However, its postharvest deterioration, including enzymatic starch degradation, poses significant challenges for storage, processing, and utilization. This review explores the enzymatic mechanisms contributing to starch deterioration in cassava, focusing on the roles of amylases, oxidative enzymes, and their interactions with other metabolic pathways. Strategies for mitigating enzymatic starch degradation and their implications for cassava-based industries are also discussed.
