Abstract: Starch is the main composition of lotus seed. Its structure and character can influence the process of lotus seed. So some properties of the Weishanhu Lake wild lotus seed starch were studied, including the amylose content, paste clarity, solubility, swelling power and the free-thaw stability. Concentration, temperature, time and share rate, etc. affecting viscosity prperties of the lotus seed were studied. This study can provide theoretical basis for processing of lotus seed products.
