Abstract: The properties of edible films prepared from raw starch, soluble starch and water-soluble starch were studied. The gelatinization characteristics, contact angle and mechanical properties, permeability, crystallinity and microstructure of three kinds of starch solutions and films were investigated. The results showed that soluble starch film solution and water-soluble starch film solution did not show gelatinization. With the increase of solubility, the contact angle between the three kinds of starch film solution and the plastic plate decreased gradually. With the decrease of the molecular weight of starch, the tensile strength of the three kinds of starch film increased first and then decreased sharply, and the fracture elongation increased gradually. The permeability of salad oil, water vapor, CO2 and O2 decreased was studied, it was found that the permeability of water-soluble starch film was the lowest. The oil permeability, water vapor permeability, CO2 permeability and O2 transmittance were 0.084 g·m/(m2·d), 2.360 g·mm/(m2·d·kPa), 0.320 g/d and 0.023 g/d, respectively. There were great differences in crystallinity and microstructure of the three kinds of starch films. Therefore, the modification of starch molecules significantly affects the properties of starch products and provides technical support for the development and applications of starch.
