Variability of amylose content and its correlation with the paste properties of cassava starch
2024
Overview
The amylose content can significantly impact the diverse industrial applications of cassava starch. This study aimed to assess the variability of cassava germplasm concerning amylose content and other attributes pertinent to root quality, alongside its correlation with paste properties. Starch extracted from 281 genotypes, obtained in germplasm evaluation trials, was evaluated for amylose content, with additional analysis of parameters such as pasting temperature, time to peak viscosity (TPV), viscosity breakdown (BrD), retrogradation tendency, and maximum, minimum, and final viscosities. The genotypes exhibited considerable variation in dry matter content (ranging from 27.06% to 41.02%), starch content (from 14.61% to 25.67%), cyanogenic compounds (1.77 to 7.81), and amylose content (0.05% to 33.23%). High phenotypic variability in paste properties was observed, alongside a low residual effect for most traits, resulting in high broad-sense heritabilities (>0.95). Strong correlations of significant magnitude (>0.80) were found between parameters such as peak viscosity × viscosity breakdown, minimum viscosity × final viscosity, and final viscosity × retrogradation tendency. Moderate correlations were also identified, such as between dry matter content × starch content (0.56). While positive, correlations between amylose content and paste properties were of low magnitude (ranging from 0.13 to 0.35), except for TPV and BrD. Principal component discriminant analysis clustered the germplasm into six distinct groups based on root quality and paste properties, with most improved genotypes falling into two clusters characterized by high starch and dry matter contents. This study underscores the necessity of simultaneous evaluation of amylose content and paste properties in the breeding pipeline. Additionally, clustering cassava genotypes proves beneficial in identifying those that fulfill specific requirements in industrial and breeding applications.
