Cereal Chem. X()(4):437-445 Fourteen l10ur blends of two natural wild-type wbeat (71'iticlIllI lIestiVll1n L.) nours, 'Nuplains' and 'Centum', blended with one waxy nour sample were chamcterized and processed to Asian salted noodles. The flour amylose content range was <1-29%. Damaged starch contents were lOA, 7.0, and 6.6% for the waxy wheat, Nuplains, and Centum, respectively. The waxy flour ...

Abstract Chemically modified waxy corn starch is a promising material for biodegradable bioplastic synthesis. This work to study the film performance and microbial enzymatic biodegradation of made from chemically according effect pre-gelatinization cardanol oil with various ratios as mixed plasticizer sorbitol. The preparation films maize acetylated di-starch adipate (WADA) pregelatinized (PWAD...

Initiation and development of the industries producing specialty starches, modified food starches, high-fructose sweeteners, and food gums (hydrocolloids) over the past century provided major ingredients for the rapid and extensive growth of the processed food and beverage industries. Introduction of waxy maize starch and high-amylose corn starch occurred in the 1940s and 1950s, respectively. D...

Reasons for the variable amylose content of endosperm starch from waxy cultivars of barley (Hordeum vulgare) were investigated. The mature grains of most such cultivars contain some amylose, although amounts are much lower than in wild-type cultivars. In these low-amylose cultivars, amylose synthesis starts relatively late in grain development. Starch granules in the outer cell layers of the en...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of nonwaxy (amylose and amylopectin starch) or waxy (amylopectin starch) sorghum on growth, carcass traits, and glucose and insulin kinetics of pigs. In Exp. 1 (95-d), 60 crossbred barrows or gilts (initial and final BW of 24 and 104 kg) were allotted to three treatments with five replications of four pigs per replicate pen in a randomized ...

Objectives of this study were to understand how opaque-2 (o2) mutation and quality protein maize (QPM) affect maize kernel composition and starch structure, property, and enzyme digestibility. Kernels of o2 maize contained less protein (9.6-12.5%) than those of the wild-type (WT) counterparts (12.7-13.3%). Kernels of a severe o2 mutant B46o2 also contained less starch (66.9%) than those of B46w...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding programs are currently developing varieties that are free of amylose (waxy wheat), as well as genetically intermediate (partial waxy) types. Successful introduction of waxy wheat varieties into commerce is predicated on a rapid methodology at the commodity point of sale that can test for the waxy condition. Near-infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy, one ...
