Abstract

Appliying statistical design techniques, good adhesivas from cassava starch were obtained by the acid hydrolysis at 96 to 98 ºC. The most significant variable in the ranga that was studied was the ratio of water to starch which in general should be 2,5 and could be 1,5 if it is used the higher acid concentration ( 1 %) and time (1 O min) to obtain a semiliquid. Employing the relation 2,5 considering the higher concentration ( 1 %) it was obtained a semiliquid with the shortest time (5 min) but a liquid with 1 O min. Also with the ratio 2,5 it was possible to obtain a good paste employing the sma­ller acid concentration (0,5 %) but the longar time (10 minl.
