Abstract: Starch is one of the main compositions of banana. The structure and characteristics of banana starch would affect the processing technology of banana. They would not only reflect the banana characteristics, but also become one of the research goals of the starch family. In this paper the properties of three kinds of banana starch were studied, including size, surface structure, polarization cross, X-ray diffraction pattern and crystallization structure etc. This study is used as theoretical basis for the research and development of the banana food.

Key words: banana, starch, structure, properties
