Abstract: Thegelatinizationbehaviorofkuzu starchwas investigatedbydifferen tialscanningcalorimetry(DSC).The results showedthatboththegelatin izationtemperature(includingtheonsettemperatureT o ,thepeaktemperatureT p and theconclusiontemperatureT c )andthegelatinizationenthalpyofk uzustarchwereincreasedbytheaddi tionofsugars and NaCl.The increasing effect of diffe rent sugars on gelatinization temperature were in the order of sucrose>g lucose>fructose.TheadditionofNaClhadth eeffectas sugars,andthescaleofth eincreasingwas inthepositivecorr elationwith the adding amount of NaCl.
