Structural, morphological, compositional, thermal, pasting, and functional properties of isolated Achira (Canna indica L.) starch: Review.

The aim of this study was to analyze the physicochemical properties of native Colombian Achira starch (Canna indica L.). Achira starch, with an amylose content of 49.

Extraction and Physicochemical Characterization of Hydroxyapatites From Horse Humerus Bones of Different Ages (1, 3, 6, and 8 Years old) Calcined at Low Temperature.

The aim of this work is to investigate the changes in the physicochemical properties of hydroxyapatite (HAp) extracted from horse humerus bones of different ages (1, 3, 6, and 8 years) subjected to low temperature calcination (600°C). Thermal analysis revealed significant mass loss due to water, collagen, organic compounds, carbonates, and age-related magnesium out-diffusion. Higher fat content in older bones contributed to increased mass loss.
