Biosynthesis of waxy starch - a review

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2017
Starch comprises nearly linear amylose and branched amylopectin, whilst waxy starches are a special form, containing almost exclusively amylopectin. Modern techniques in plant breeding together with new data from starch biosynthesis research have enabled

Comparative Evaluation of Starch and Protein Characteristics in Ancient Wheat Species

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Driven by increasing consumer demand for nutrient‐dense and more sustainable food options, ancient wheat species present a promising opportunity due to their environmental adaptability and perceived health benefits. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the starch and protein characteristics of ancient wheat species,

Insight into characteristics in rice starch under heat- moisture treatment: Focus on the structure of amylose/amylopectin

Food Chemistry: X
Heat-moisture treatment (HMT) could improve the structure and physicochemical characteristics of rice starch, the structural changes of amylose and amylopectin needed to be further investigated. Hence, the starch, amylose and amylopectin were modified by

Overlapping functions of the starch synthases SSII and SSIII in amylopectin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis

BMC Plant Biology, 2008
Background The biochemical mechanisms that determine the molecular architecture of amylopectin are central in plant biology because they allow long-term storage of reduced carbon.

Characterizing Low Falling Number in the Absence of Elevated Alpha‐Amylase Activity in Soft White Wheat and the Impact on Japanese Sponge Cakes

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Non‐alpha‐amylase induced low falling number was identified in 2024 soft white wheat. The objectives of this work were to characterize these low falling number samples and determine the impact on end‐product quality. The results were analyzed to determine differences in flour characteristics that might result in a low

Moderate Amylose Increases From SSIIa Mutations Modify Pasta Texture in Durum Wheat

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum) pasta quality depends on grain yellowness, gluten strength, and protein content, and can be modified by altering starch composition. High‐amylose null mutants improve nutritional traits but often reduce seed size, yield, and processing quality.

A simplified method of determining the internal structure of amylopectin from barley starch without amylopectin isolation

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2021
To determine the internal structure of barley starch without amylopectin isolation, whole starch was hydrolyzed using β-amylase to remove the linear amylose and obtain β-limit dextrins (β-LDs). The β-LDs were treated with extensive α-amylase to prepare α-limit dextrins (α-LDs), and the α-LDs were further hydrolyzed with β-amylase into building blocks ...

Soaking Water Management Strategies for Enhanced Quality of Parboiled Rice

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Parboiling is a hydrothermal process that alters rice physicochemical and nutritional properties. The soaking step is crucial, influencing off‐flavor formation, mineral retention, and effluent quality. This study evaluated five soaking water (SW) management strategies combining different frequencies and volumes of SW ...

Starch accumulation in hulless barley during grain filling

Botanical Studies, 2017
Background Starch consists of two types of molecules: amylose and amylopectin. The objective of this study was increase understanding about mechanisms related to starch accumulation in hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) grain by measuring temporal ...

Independence of Thermal, Pasting, and Gelling Properties From Particle Size in Cereal Flours Across Heating Temperatures

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives This study investigated how particle size influenced pasting and gelling behaviors of cereal flours across a wide range of heating temperatures. Hard wheat, soft wheat, oats, barley, and rye were milled into flours using 0.5‐, 1.0‐, or 2.0‐mm screens, and the resulting flours were subjected to heating over 95°C–140°C ...
