This review of starch is concerned with its industrial uses, origins and structure. The current
demand for starch is met by a restricted range of crops, the most important of which are …

The aim of this review is to examine how the quantity and quality of starch in cereal
endosperm is affected by abiotic stress. This is important because starch is the primary food …

Myriad definitions have been used for the term heat stress, but here it is defined as a
deleterious response to elevated temperature. For cereal crops, heat stress reduces yield or …

To elucidate the effect of high temperature on grain-filling metabolism, developing rice
(Oryza sativa)'Nipponbare'caryopses were exposed to high temperature (33° C/28° C) or …

The swelling and gelatinization properties of waxy rice starches (essen- latter also
responded a little to annealing. It is concluded that the lowtially pure amylopectin) were …

Main conclusion Global food insecurity concerns due to climate change, emphasizes the
need to focus on the sensitivity of sorghum to climate change and potential crop …

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 …

BACKGROUND High temperature during grain filling affects yield, starch amylose content
and activity of starch biosynthesis enzymes in basmati rice. To investigate the physiological …

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 …
