Abstract

Starch occurs as water-insoluble granules which are partially crystalline and birefringent when viewed between crossed polars. Wheat grains contain two main populations of granules, the larger A-type granules are formed early in seed development and have a major dimension ranging from 10–35 μm, the smaller B-type granules are formed later in development and range in size from 1–10 μm. The smaller B-granules can contribute up to 30% by weight of the starch (Evers et al. 1974; Dengate and Meredith 1984). The granules contain two macromolecules, amylose and amylopectin.
