[en] The starches were isolated from white and red sorghum, predominant cultivars in the Sahara of algeria. Morphological, thermal properties and amylose content of isolated starches were examined. The determination of these proprties is relevant to the comprehension of starch and starch-based foods digestibility in order to direct them towards the specific applications in food and non food sectors.
