    Wheat starch production, structure, functionality and applications :a review
    (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2017) Shevkani, Khetan; Singh, 2 Narpinder; Bajaj, Ritika; Kaur, Amritpal
    Starch is the main component of wheat having a number of food and industrial applications. Thousands of cultivars/varieties of different wheat types and species differing in starch functionality (thermal, retrogradation, pasting and nutritional properties) are grown throughout the world. These properties are related to starch composition, morphology and structure, which vary with genetics, agronomic and environmental conditions. Starches from soft wheat contain high amounts of surface lipids and proteins and exhibit lower paste viscosity, whereas that from hard cultivars contain high proportion of small granules and amylose content but lower gelatinization temperature and enthalpy. Waxy starches exhibit higher-percentage crystallinity, gelatinization temperatures, swelling power, paste viscosities and digestibility, but lower-setback viscosity, rate of retrogradation and levels of starch lipids and proteins than normal and high-amylose starches. Starches with high levels of lipids are less susceptible towards gelatinization, swelling and retrogradation and are good source of resistant starch, while that with high proportion of long amylopectin chains are more crystalline, gelatinize at high temperatures, increase paste viscosity, retrograde to a greater extent and decrease starch digestibility (high resistant and slowly digestible starch and low rapidly digestible starch). ? 2016 Institute of Food Science and Technology

    Effect of degree of milling on physicochemical, structural, pasting and cooking properties of short and long grain Indica rice cultivars
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2018) Sandhu, Rubrinder Singh; Singh, Narpinder; Kaler, R.S.S.; Kaur, Amritpal; Shevkani, Khetan
    The effects of degree of milling (DOM) between 0 and 8% on physico-chemical, structural, pasting and cooking properties of short and long grain Indica rice cultivars were studied. Ash, protein, lipids and minerals decreased while blue value and crystallinity increased with increase in DOM. The colour parameters (a? b?) and cooking time (CT) decreased while L?(lightness) increased with increase in DOM. Elongation ratio (ER), gruel solid loss (GSL), length/breadth (L/B) and paste viscosities during cooking increased with increase in DOM. Short grain rice contained lower ash, protein, lipids, Mn, K, Ca, CT and GSL than long grain while the later showed higher crystallinity, Mn, P, K, Ca and ER. Paste and dough characteristics measured using Rheometer and Mixolab, respectively correlated well and differed with cultivar and DOM. Short and long grain cultivars showed variation in loss of different chemical constituents during varied DOM causing variation in cooking characteristics. ? 2018 Elsevier Ltd
