Abstract

Physicochemical properties of arrowroot starch were investigated. The starch had blue value of 0.397, alkali number of 10.1 and amylose content of 22.0%. The starch was practically insoluble in water up to $55^{\circ}C$. X-ray diffraction was C pattern, but was close to A pattern. The alkali number, X-ray pattern and viscogram of the starch and retrogadation rate of the starch gels indicated that the properties of the arrow root starch were close to those of cereal starches.

칡 전분 입자의 형태는 구형, 반구형 및 다각형으로서 입자 크기는 $3.3{\sim}23{\mu}m$이었다. 전분의 blue value는 0.397, 알카리수는 10.1, 아밀로스 함량은 22.0%, 물결합능력은 87.5%이었다. 칡전분은 $55^{\circ}C$까지 물에 불용성이었다. 전분의 알카리수, X-ray 회절도, 아밀로그라프에 의한 점도양상, 전분겔의 노화속도는 곡류전분과 비슷한 결과를 보였다.
