Non-Conventional Starch Sources 1st Edition

Grab attention with a discovery that reshapes how we think about starch. Non-Conventional Starch Sources (1st Edition) by Sneh Punia Bangar and Jose Manuel Lorenzo presents a comprehensive, research-driven exploration of underutilized starches and their rising role across food, pharmaceutical, and bioplastic industries.

This book dives into the science and application of starches derived from tubers, legumes, seeds, fruit wastes and regional crops, offering clear chapters on extraction methods, physicochemical characterization, functional modification and industrial scaling. Written for scientists, product developers and policy-makers, it balances rigorous data with actionable insights — from analytical techniques to case studies demonstrating formulation improvements and sustainable product design.

Why this edition matters: global markets from South Asia and Latin America to Europe and Africa are seeking resilient, local ingredient solutions. This text not only maps the technical possibilities but highlights economic and environmental advantages—reducing waste, supporting regional agri-economies and enabling biodegradable packaging and novel functional ingredients.

Perfect for researchers, food technologists and industry leaders aiming to innovate, reformulate or commercialize natural starch alternatives. The clear organization, practical tables and forward-looking perspectives make it a go-to reference for formulation strategy, R&D planning and sustainability initiatives.
