Effects of BEIIb-Deficiency on the Cluster Structure of Amylopectin and the Internal Structure of Starch Granules in Endosperm and Culm of Japonica-Type Rice

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
It is known that one of starch branching enzyme (BE) isoforms, BEIIb, plays a specific role not only in the synthesis of distinct amylopectin cluster structure, but also in the formation of the internal structure of starch granules in rice endosperm ...

Optimizing Instant Rice Quality of Milled and Brown Rice Through Cultivar‐Selection

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Instant rice products are increasingly favored for convenience; however, achieving consistent quality, particularly rehydration performance and texture, remains a challenge. Rice cultivars differ in physicochemical properties that influence processing behavior and final product quality, yet systematic screening ...

Enhancement of technofunctional properties of chickpea flour through composite blending with teff and proso millet

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing demand for nutritionally rich and gluten‐free foods has intensified research interest in underutilized cereals and legumes as an alternative to conventional wheat‐based flours. The study aims to investigate the potential of developing composite flours from proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), teff (Eragrostis tef), and chickpea ...

Starch Synthase IIa-Deficient Mutant Rice Line Produces Endosperm Starch With Lower Gelatinization Temperature Than Japonica Rice Cultivars

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
The gelatinization temperature of endosperm starch in most japonica rice cultivars is significantly lower than that in most indica rice cultivars. This is because three single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Starch synthase (SS) IIa gene in japonica rice
