    What Is the Starch Structure Property

    Starch structure property refers to the combined characteristics of starch molecular composition, chemical structure, and physical behavior. These properties determine gelatinization, solubility, and viscosity, directly influencing starch performance in food processing, energy metabolism, and biomaterial development.

     

    The structural properties of starch mainly depend on the ratio of amylose to amylopectin, molecular weight distribution, chain length, and branching degree. Variations in these parameters cause changes in crystallinity, particle size, and resistant starch content, affecting digestibility, physical stability, and textural quality. Systematic measurement of these features provides insight into starch functionality and potential applications.
