Results indicated that gamma irradiation altered the physical and chemical properties of tapioca starch. There was a remarkable decrease in starch viscosity as well as gelatinization temperature and time, swelling capacity, and molecular degradation occured after treating starch with different doses of gamma irradiation. The acidity, reducing sugars and solubility increased when tapioca starch was treated with different doses of gamma irradiation.
