Abstract: Starch is one of the major components in Chinese chestnut, which is highly correlated with its glutinous characteristics. Meanwhile, protein and fat in the starch also have impact on the glutinous taste. In this paper, the correlation between chestnut starch complex (starch granule-associated with protein and starch-lipid complex) and glutinous taste is reviewed. Moreover, the industrial application and limitations of Chinese chestnut products are discussed.

Key words: starch, starch granule-associated with protein (SGAP), starch-lipid compound, pasting property
