“…The amylose content of different legume starches varied from 30.61% to 33.55%, and the highest amylose content was found in red adzuki starch, whereas the lowest amylose content was found in faba bean starch. These values were similar with the values previously reported for black gram (30.33%-40.64%; Wani, Sogi, & Gill, 2015), but relatively lower than those reported for chickpeas (46.5%) and pinto beans (52.4%; Yañez-Farias, Moreno-Valencia, Falcón-Villa, & Barrón-Hoyos, 1997), and field peas (42.9%-43.7%; Ratnayake, Hoover, Shahidi, Perera, & Jane, 2001). The different amylose content among different starch varieties could be attributed to different enzyme activity that involved in the biosynthesis of starch molecules within the starch granules (Krossmann & Lloyd, 2000), and the soil type and climatic conditions during growth and granule size distribution (Singh, Mc-Carthy, & Singh, 2006 The fissures structure could also be observed on mung bean starch under light microscope (Li, Shu, Zhang, & Shen, 2011).…”
