Starches isolated from eight oat cultivars were tested for their physicochemical, structural, and rheological properties. The isolated starches had low levels of ash and nitrogen contents with amylose ranging from 21.8 to 32.3 g/100 g. The amount of water released from starch gels decreased significantly (p < 0.05) with increase in freeze thaw cycle. The scanning electron micrographs revealed the presence of polygonal to irregularly shaped starch granules. All the starches exhibited A-type X-Ray diffraction pattern typically characteristic of cereal starches. The rheological properties of pastes were well described by the Herschel-Bulkley model at a shear rate of 0-100 s(-1) (R-2 > 0.99). The starch pastes behaved like a pseudoplastic fluid and exhibited shear thinning fluid characteristics with values of flow behaviour index considerably less than 1. Both the storage and loss moduli of the pastes increased sharply initially and then dropped after reaching the gelatinization peak. The magnitude of the dynamic rheological parameters varied significantly (p < 0.05) between the cultivars. All the starch pastes were highly elastic than viscous as evidenced by the lower tan values. Structure property relationships were established between starches using principal component analysis.
