| dc.description.abstract | Edible canna is a potential forest product that can be used as food diversification. The objective of this research was to obtain resistant starch which has been proven for its physiological effect. The production of resistant starch was done by chemically modified which used different concentration of acetic anhydride, namely 3, 4, and 5% in 300 g of edible canna. Two types of edible canna used in this research are red edible canna and white edible canna. The degree of substitution which gained through acetylation is 0.082, 0.168, 0.257 for red edible canna and 0.082, 0.168, 0.257 for white edible canna. Through proximate analysis, modification of edible canna starch resulted in increase of water content and decrease of ash content, while protein content, lipid and carbohydrate content showed no relatively difference. Total starch content, amylose, amylopectin, dietary fiber, resistant starch and digestibility of starch were measured for edible canna and the selected modified edible canna (4%). The results showed that modification through acetylation can increase resistant starch content. It increased 3.54% in red edible canna while for white edible canna is 3.80%. These results influenced the increasing of total dietary fiber with value 2.45% for red edible canna and 1.95% for white edible canna. The increasing of dietary fiber will result in the decreasing of digestibility of starch with value 1.58% for red edible canna and 1.98% for white edible canna. | en |
