Abstract: The purification, composition and structure of rice starches were introduced in detail in the paper. Physicochemical properties of rice starch were summarized comprehensively, including pasting properties (gelatinization and retrogradation), water absorption, solubility, swelling power and etc. Meanwhile, composition, structure and physicochemical properties of indica rice (long grain rice), japonica rice (short grain rice) and waxy rice starches were also compared in the paper.

Key words: rice starch, composition, structure, physicochemical properties, comparison
