The paste properties of Castanea starch have been studied by using modern analysis methods such as polarizing microscopy,spectrophotometer and circumvolve viscosity analyzer,etc.The results indicated that the gelatinization temperature was 63.5℃~74.5℃ for Castanea henryi starch' and 64.0℃~73.5℃ for Castanea sequinii starch.Both Castanea starches performed high enzymatic hydrolyzation,low clarity,strong retrogradation and bad freeze-thaw stability.In the pH value range of 6.0~8.0,both showed higher viscosity.Temperature and rotate speed t...
