Abstract

The aim of research was to extract the starch from ginger. It contains gingerol, fat, starch and volatile oil. It is the rhizome of the plant Zingiber Officinale. Ginger is belonging to the family Zingiberaceae is an ancient Indian medicine used in several disorders. It is a popular spice with important nutraceuticals attributes is cultivated extensively in India. after extraction of starch from ginger. The obtained starch had a yield of 13%. The prepared starch was characterized by FTIR and TGA to investigate the chemical composition, thermal properties. From these findings results suggested that the ginger can be used to extract starch. Due to biodegradable and biocompatible in nature. It will be used for biodegradable film and biomedical applications.

Keywords
