Starch granules and their size distribution in wheat: Biosynthesis, physicochemical properties and their effect on flour-based food systems

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023
Starch is a vital component of wheat grain and flour, characterized by two distinct granule types: A-type starch (AS) with granules larger than 10 µm in diameter, and B-type starch (BS) with granules measuring no more than 10 µm in diameter.

Maximizing efficiency of rumen microbial protein production. [PDF]

, 2015
Rumen microbes produce cellular protein inefficiently partly because they do not direct all ATP toward growth. They direct some ATP toward maintenance functions, as long-recognized, but they also direct ATP toward reserve carbohydrate synthesis and ...
