Dufour, Dominique L.; Hurtado, John Jairo; Wheatley, Christopher C. 2000. Characterization on starches from non-cereal crops cultivated in tropical America: Comparative analysis of staarch behaviour under different stress conditions. In: Howeler, Reinhardt H.; Oates, C.G.; O`Brien, G.M. (eds.). International Symposium on Cassava, Starch and Starch Derivatives (1996, Guangxi, China). Cassava, starch and starch derivatives: Proceedings. Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT), Regional Cassava Program for Asia, Bangkok, TH. p. 42-56.

By studying the physical properties of native starches, new market opportunities can be identified for certain root and tuber crops, thus promoting renewed interest in their cultivation.
