Healthy Triticeae Starches

Tech ID: 22.698

Key Features

• Increased starch granule size, by simple mutation
• Applications for starch with lower GIycaemic Index and novel processing properties

Description

Large starch granule size may have diverse applications such as better milling efficiency and enhanced nutritional quality (lower GI). High B-type granule content, such as seen here, is known to be associated with better pasta quality.
