Abstract

The physicochemical properties of starches isolated from seven potato varieties grown in Enshi Prefecture of China were determined, with three starches from commercial potato, sweet potato, and cassava as control. There was a significant difference (p < 0.05) in moisture, ash and protein contents of the starches. The starch granules of potato were larger (33.96 -51.94 μm) and showed a wider range of size distribution than sweet potato (16.06μm) and cassava (14.90μm). The potato starch had a lower gelatinization peak temperature than sweet potato starch. Potato starches digestibility were influenced by processing conditions; microwave cooking can significantly increase the content of resistant starch (RS). Results of the principal component analysis demonstrated that potato starch from PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5, PS7 shared high similarity and differentiated from other potato cultivars. The variability observed in the properties of the various starches can improve their future potential in food or non-food applications.
