The paste properties of carboxymethyl potato starch, including the heat and cold viscosity stability, freeze- thaw stability and clarity, and the effect of pH values and media (cane sugar and sodium chloride) on them have been studied. The results indicated that after retrogradation, the paste heat viscosity stability and cold viscosity stability of starch decreased in the pH range of 6.5~8.5, carboxymethlation starch had the highest viscosity. Addition of cane sugar to the paste produced some effects on their paste viscosity properties, addition of sodium chloride to the paste produced obvious effects on their paste viscosity, properties, carboxymethlation starch has good properties of easier gelatinization, higher viscosity, lower retrogradation, better freezethaw stability, and higher clarity.
