"Starch Industries: Processes and Innovative Products in Food and Non-Food Uses is the third 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 starch extraction and its food and non-food uses, using large and small industrial processes. The methods and equipment of these technologies are analyzed in detail, so that it is easy to be understood by a diverse public, increasing the visibility of the great potential of use of starchy tubers, rhizomes and roots, and improving processing options. Specifically in processing cassava, which is the only cultivation done on a commercial scale in South America, it is possible to extract starch in industries equipped with equipment, comparable to that of China, Thailand and Vietnam. This title also explores the extraction of smaller starches, such as canna starch, sweet potato and arrowroot from South China, which does not sell starch but transforms it into food paste in small extruders.
Edited by a team of experts with a solid background on starch extraction research, the books are aimed at all those involved in research and development, new technological processes, quality control and legislation in the field of starch."

Marney Pascoli Cereda, Ph.D. has graduated in Agronomic Engineering at University of São Paulo, Brazil. She idealized and was the first Director of a Research Centre specialized in tropical starches. For her activities in research, she received in 2000 the Medal of Merit from the São Paulo Government. She also realized post-doctoral internships in Spain, France and England and technical visits in China, Thailand, Japan, India and in most Central and South American countries. Her researches focus mainly in food technology and development. In food technology she works mainly with food security, food safety and the use of agroindustry’s wastes. In rural agroindustry’s, she works in the development of processes in social technology and valorization of family farming products production by innovative technologies. She developed 3 patents and other 6 are in analysis process. From 2018 she remains an independent researcher and coordinates the Agro: Research, Processes and Products Laboratories. Olivier François Vilpoux, Ph.D. has graduated in Agronomic Engineering at “Institut Supérieur D'agriculture (1991), in France, with a Master’s in Business from the Institut de “Gestion Internationale en Agro Alimentaire (1992) and a PhD in Business from the “Institut National Polythecnique de Lorraine (1997), France. From 2004 to 2019 he was a professor at the Catholic University of Campo Grande (UCDB) and Professor of the Master and Doctorate Program in Local Development (UCDB), Brazil. From 2014 to 2019 he has been professor of the Doctorate in business at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul. Currently he is professor of the Master of Management and Environmental Technology at the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT). He works mainly on the following themes: collective action, cooperatives and family farming.
