Abstract
The tuber of Apios Fabr. is a kind of critical dual-purpose resource for food and drug. Starch is the most abundant component with a content of up to 75.1% and contains a large proportion of resistant starch. As the planting capability increasing, the tuber of Apios Fabr. will be a new starch resource. This review summarizes the starch content, granular structure, thermal and functional properties in recent years. Finally, future research directions in tuberous starch of Apios Fabr. are discussed, which provide a reference basis for the future experiment research on the Apios Fabr. starch.
