ABSTRACT
In this study, Lycoris chinensis bulbs of four developmental stages were compared for starch characteristics. Based on correlation analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis, the relationships among 36 traits were discussed. Compared to commonly consumed starches, L. chinensis starch had higher amylose content (33.4-43.2 %) and weight-average molar mass (36410-82,781 kDa), lower gelatinization temperature (61.8-68.1 °C), gel hardness (19.0-39.5 g) and viscosities. Among developmental stages, starches varied significantly in characteristics. As compared to juvenile stage (S1), mature bulbs (S4) had higher amylose content, lower gelatinization temperature, weight-average molar mass and degree of polymorphism. Correlation analysis revealed that the molecular weight-related traits had significantly positive correlations to gelatinization temperature (Tp, p < 0.05), positive but weak correlations to traits of particle size distribution, significantly negative correlations to AAC and many parameters of viscosity properties (p < 0.05). Based on the results of correlation analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis, the 36 traits of starch characteristics were proposed to be divided into three groups particle size-related traits, molecular weight-related traits and AAC-related traits. The information presented in the current study are useful for future studies on starches of Lycoris and other bulb species, and instructive for future studies in investigating the "Structure-Function" relationship in starch.
