Abstract
Abstract Chestnut starch acetates (CSA) with different degrees of substitution (DS) were prepared. The structure and physicochemical properties of CSA were then determined, with scanning electron microscopy showing that most of the CSA granules were damaged and dented, and adhered with increased in DS. X-ray diffraction results indicated that the crystal form of CS and CSA was type C. Chemical structure analysis showed that the starch molecule was grafted with acetyl groups. The transparency, freeze–thaw stability, solubility and swelling power of CSA improved with an increase in DS. The viscosity and stability of CSA were significantly improved and pasting temperatures reduced compared with native CS. The cohesion, hardness, gumminess, chewiness and springiness of CSA decreased with an increase in DS, whereas adhesiveness increased. By comparing the properties of CSA with different DS, a new option was provided for the application of renewable natural polymer CSA in food fields.
