Abstract:

Potato starch has some special properties, which contribute to its versatile utilization and application potential. Starches from different sources have different physico-chemical and functional properties. In this work, eight potato cultivars were extracted to obtain starch, and the extracted starches were subjected to characterization and correlation analysis of physicochemical properties such as chemical composition, swelling power, solubility and thermal and rheological properties. Potato starch crystallinity was negatively correlation with temperature at storage modulus peak and swelling power, respectively. The contents of amylose and phosphorus were both positively correlated with temperature at storage modulus peak, storage modulus peak, transition temperature (onset, To; peak, Tp; and conclusion, Tc) but negatively correlated with crystallinity. Furthermore, a negative correlation between amylase content and gelatinization enthalpy was also observed.

Key words: potato starch, chemical composition, physico-chemical properties, granular properties
