Abstract
Bambara groundnut is leguminous crop indigenous to Africa. The major component in Bambara groundnut is starch. Due to the growing demand for starch by the industry, researchers are now focusing on underutilised crops such as Bambara groundnut as possible source of starch for various industrial applications. This review summarizes the present knowledge on the isolation, composition, physicochemical properties and modification methods of Bambara groundnut starch. Future studies are also suggested for value addition and improved utilization of the grain.
