“…Hexaploid waxy wheat starch was found to contain 0.9 to 3.2% apparent amylose and 0.12-0.29% lipids (Abdel-Aal, Hucl, Chibbar, Han, & Demeke, 2002;Chakraborty et al, 2004;Kim et al, 2003;Yasui, Matsuki, Sasaki, & Yamamori, 1996), in contrast with 22-25% amylose and 0.8-1.2% lipids in nonwaxy wheat starch (Morrison, Milligan, & Azudin, 1984). As expected, waxy wheat starch showed the A-type X-ray pattern and had an increased level of crystallinity compared to wild types, thereby elevating the enthalpy of gelatinization (Chakraborty et al, 2004;Fujita, Yamamoto, Sugimoto, Morita, & Yamamori, 1998;Hayakawa, Tanaka, Nakamura, Endo, & Hoshino, 1997;Kim et al, 2003;Sasaki, Yasui, & Matsuki, 2000). Tetraploid (durum) waxy wheat starches also showed similar gelatinization and pasting properties (Chakraborty et al, 2004;Grant et al, 2001).…”
