Starch granules are composed of two distinct glucose polymers–amylose and amylopectin.
Amylose constitutes 5–35% of most natural starches and has a major influence over starch …

Stressful environments can alter starch biosynthesis in cereal endosperm. The aim of this
review is to carefully examine how starch functional properties are altered when plants …

Starches from two waxy rices, a waxy maize, a waxy barley showed onset temperatures (T o)
of gelatinization in excess of water of 349.2, 340.5, 339.1, and 331.1 K, respectively, as …

The amylopectins from the apparent low-(japonica) and high-amylose (indica) varieties of
rice showed, respectively, low (0.39–0.87 g/100 g) and high (1.62–2.57 g/100 g) affinities for …

Publisher Summary Starch granules are commonly found in seeds, roots, tubers, stems, and
leaves. Grain seeds, such as maize kernels, contain up to 75% starch on a dry starch basis …

Continuing in the tradition of its well-received predecessor, Carbohydrates in Food, Second
Edition provides thorough and authoritative coverage of the chemical analysis, structure …

Abstract Knowledge of the grain structure is important in understanding the physical and
chemical properties of the rice grain, which is consumed mainly as boiled, whole milled rice …

The effect of harvest dates on the starch properties of six potato cultivars was studied. The
focus was on the content of amylose and phosphorus, mean granule size, viscosity analysis …

Impact of environmental conditions on cassava starch variability was examined by studying
four commercially important cultivars, Rayong 1, Rayong 60, Rayong 90, and Kasetsart 50 …

The term rice quality means different things to different people. To some it refers to the
quantity of whole kernels remaining after milling (aka polishing), to others it is the visual …
