Native cassava starch typically contains about 15% to 25% amylose, though recent studies have identified extreme genetic variations ranging from nearly 0% to over 33% depending on the genotype and environmental conditions. This amylose-to-amylopectin ratio is the primary determinant of cassava starch’s functional properties and its diverse applications.
