Garut or arrowroot tubers contain carbohydrate or starch, in particular, that known as functional food and material component in industrial products. This study aims to analyze starch content and water content on 15 arrowroot accessions. Water content was also observed and oven dry method was applied. Dry content was presented by difference with water content. Starch content was analyzed using UV-VIS spectrophotometer. Average water content of 15 arrowroot accessions tested in this study was 74.26%, which the highest was found on accession number 24 (81.74%) and the lowest was found on accession number 15 (68.95%). Six groups of arrowroot accessions were obtained from cluster analysis based on starch content and dry content. High starch and dry contents were found in groups of accessions number 3, 14, 15, 23, and 25. These findings provide information on prospective accessions with high arrowroot starch production.
