Flours and starches extracted from the tropical tubers underwent freeze-drying and cooking in comparison with fresh cooking. Freeze-dried and cooked starch (FDS) granules were found to have different shapes and collapsed arrangement whereas freshly cooked starch (FCS) granules had the least varied structures. The freeze-dried flours had larger structures compared to freshly cooked flours. The physicochemical parameters were high in Dioscorea esculenta (DE)-FDS, followed by Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (AP)-FDS and other samples whereas D. alata (DA)-FCS had the lowest, whereas flours followed similar trend. FDS (42.1%) had the highest solubility index and swelling power whereas FCS (11.1%) showed the lowest. The syneresis and light transmittance levels were higher in FDS and FDF. The freeze dried flour and starch showed higher onset (T₀), peak (TP), and conclusion (TC) temperature than fresh cooked samples. The variations in IR spectra, thermal properties, and crystalline index were termed as differential function of physicochemical characteristics, structural changes that resulted from freeze drying, and cooking treatment employed.
