Abstract: Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Möench) is an annual crop, it is a pseudocereal but chemical composition and utilisation is of its grains is similar to cereals. Starch is the major component of buckwheat grains. Starch was isolation from common buckwheat seeds and hydrothermally modified at 120°C for 6hr keeping the moisture content (30%) constant. Film were prepared from native and modified starches of buckwheat and evaluated for different parameters. All film samples were continuous, transparent and crack free. Heat-moisture treated starch film had higher tensile strength and moisture barrier capacity.

Keywords: Buckwheat, heat-moisture treatment, edible films, starch.
