Amidon et fécule sont une même substance [...] qui existe dans presque toutes les parties des végétaux (racines, tubercules, tiges, feuilles, fruits, graines). Mais on a adopté plus particulièrement le nom de «fécule» pour désigner l'amidon des organes souterrains, tubercules et racines (manioc, igname), en réservant celui d'«amidon» pour le produit industriel tiré des graines (blé, riz, mais). On retire industriellement la fécule des pommes de terre. 1, record 2, French, - f%C3%A9cule%20de%20pomme%20de%20terre
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La majorité des ouvrages consultés établissent une distinction entre «fécule» (tubercules et racines) et «amidon» (céréales). Seul l'Encyclopédie internationale des sciences et des techniques (AUTEC) indique qu'il s'agit tout simplement d'une distinction commerciale qui n'existe pas au point de vue chimique. 3, record 2, French, - f%C3%A9cule%20de%20pomme%20de%20terre
