Abstract
The use of cassava starch as potential substitute for corn starch in the production of salad cream (SC) may contribute to sustainable utilization of cassava roots. This study investigated the physicochemical properties, rheology, and storage stability of SC made with starches from eight cassava varieties. SC produced was stored in an airtight plastic jar for 3 months at ambient temperature (25 ± 2°C). Changes in the physicochemical properties, rheology, and storage stability of the stored SC samples were determined using standard methods. There was a significant decrease (p < .05) in the solid contents of the SC while the peroxide increased with storage period. There was a significant increase (p < .05) in the total plate count (TPC) of the SC samples with storage period. This study further showed that the SC samples were all chemically and microbially stable considering the standards for peroxide value (PV) (<10 meg/kg) and TPC (<104 cfu/g) within the 3 months storage.
