Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the functional and pasting properties of cassava–sweetpotato starch blends with the aim of improving the utilization of these starches in food and non-food applications. Starches were isolated from cassava roots and sweetpotato tubers using standard procedures. The starches were dried, milled, and blended in different proportions. The functional and pasting characteristics of the starch blends were determined using standard analytical procedures and instruments. The functional properties of the starch blends were signiicantly different ( P<0.05) from 100% cassava and sweetpotato starches exc...
