Parameters of sweet potato starch from TG curves.

Heating Rate	T_sd/°C	T_5%/°C	T_10%/°C	T_50%/°C	T_max/°C
5 °C·min⁻¹	45.50	83.07	289.95	316.98	308.37
10 °C·min⁻¹	45.50	286.45	302.84	327.81	321.70
15 °C·min⁻¹	45.50	314.07	318.98	349.88	325.98
20 °C·min⁻¹	45.50	303.49	313.68	333.11	320.32

T_i is the temperature when α = i and T_max is the temperature at the maximum weight loss rate. T_sd is the starting temperature of decomposition.
