Agriculture of Starchy Crops: Varieties, Landraces and Cultural Treatments

Agriculture of Starchy Crops: Varieties, Landraces and Cultural Treatments is the second volume of the Underground Starchy Crops of South American Origin? book series. Organized in five volumes, this series brings information on the applied level of producing and using starch from a range of plants grown in tropical and subtropical areas that have South American origin. This book presents economic and social Importance of crops that storage starch in underground organs, covering the global starch extraction from these cereals and plants. The title also explores bioactive compounds as way of valorization the crops, and the commercial and traditional cultivation in South America (Colombia/Venezuela/ Andean highlands, Mexico, Brazilian savannah and Pantanal, besides the Amazon forest), bringing botanical information too. Edited by a team of experts with solid background on starch extraction research, the books are aimed at all those involved in research and development as well as cultivation and quality control and legislation in the field of starch. Presents a summary view of how agricultural production and cultivation of starchy crops occur in their countries of origin, highlighting their strengths and challenges Covers the possibilities for local development by valuing products obtained from natural crops in more distant and scarcer markets of variability Evaluates landraces that are found in small-scale agriculture, where traditions are maintained, including tubers, rhizomes and roots as carbohydrate sources used as stable foods in South American countries INDICE: 1.
