Review on the effects of hydrocolloid on physicochemical properties of starch

Effects of hydrocolloids on physicochemical properties of starch were reviewed in this paper,including pasting properties,rheological properties,gel properties,retrogradation properties,thermal properties and filmforming ability. Furthermore,the interaction mechanism of starch and hydrocolloids was discussed,and the application of starch-hydrocolloid mixed system was also introduced. This paper may provide a theoretical basis for selection and use of hydrocolloids.
