Differences in Hydration Behavior and Physicochemical Properties of Starches from Different Sorghum Varieties and Their Multiple Relationships

The physicochemical properties of sorghum determine its application. This study investi- gated the differences and relationships in the physicochemical properties of four typical japonica sorghum starches (JSS, including JZ159, JZ167, JZ169 and FZ4) and three waxy sorghum starches (WSS, including JN, LML and NL). The results showed that there were significant differences in their hydration properties, thermal properties, gelatinisation prop- erties and digestibility. The water solubility index...
