Abstract: The inhibition of trehalose for the retrogradation of sticky rice starch was studied. It was found that replacing part of granulated sugar in the complex solution of granulated sugar and sticky rice starch with trehalose could be effectively stay the course of retrogradation. Meanwhile, the inhibition of trehalose for the retrogradation could be more apparent during the frequent courses of freezing and thawing, according to the analysis of the preservation condition.

Key words: starch, retrogradation, trehalose
