Physicochemical characteristics of starch isolated from Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels et Gilg (T. hemsleyanum) tuber root of 4 different origins were firstly analyzed in this study. The starch granules of T. hemsleyanum tuber root were oval or globular, showed unimodal distribution with average size of 21.66-28.79 μm. T. hemsleyanum starch had typical B-type diffraction pattern. T. hemsleyanum root was rich in starch, and apparent amylose content ranged from 39.82% to 47.67%. The amylopectin chain profiles showed that over 50% of the total detectable chains had degree of polymerization (DP) with 13-24. T. hemsleyanum tuber root had high RS content, which reached up to 61.44% in flour and 68.81% in isolated starch. After cooking, the RS content decreased, but was still high up to 7.52% in flour and 9.93% in isolated starch. The peak gelatinization temperature of T. hemsleyanum starch ranged from 68.12 to 74.42 °C. The peak viscosity of T. hemsleyanum flour and starch ranged from 778 to 1258 cP and 1577 to 2009 cP respectively. The results indicated that T. hemsleyanum was a potential source for novel starch with high resistant starch and provide some guides for comprehensive utilization of T. hemsleyanum starch in food and pharmaceuticals industry.
