Characteristic and functional properties of Thai lotus seed (Nelumbo nucifera) flours

Thai lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) seeds have been widely used for both food and medicine. The goals of this study were to investigate the characteristics and the functional properties of flours from four varieties of lotus seeds in Thailand (Patoom, Boontric, Chatkaw and Chatchompoo). The results showed...
