Retrogradation of legume starches and their gel properties were studied. From DSC results, kidney bean starch retrograded faster than other starches whereas cow pea and mung bean starches retrograded slowly. Retrogradation rate of 1% starch solutions during storage showed similar patterns to the DSC results. During storage, the sags of cow pea and mung bean gels(starch conc., 8%) were slowly increased, but that of kidney bean was rapidly increased. The water mobility of cow pea and mung bean gels, which was measured by NMR, remained unchanged for one day, afterwards decreased slowly, whereas that of red bean and kidney bean gels decreased rapidly through the storage time.
