In recent years, interest has increased in the search for new starch sources, especially among Andean tubers, such as Arracacha (or Peruvian Carrot). This work studied the chemical composition, structural features, and thermal and adsorption properties of four sub-varieties of yellow Arracacha grown in Colombia: comun (Com), cartagenera (Car), yema de huevo (YH) and clon 22 (C22). Starches from the Com, Car and YH sub varieties presented similar properties, amylose content around 30%, relative crystallinity around 31% and gelatinization temperature around 60 °C. On the other hand, starch from the
