In the first look at the molecular diversity of the starch pathway in maize, research at North Carolina State University has found that - in contrast to the high amount of diversity in many of the ...

Ingredion's latest waxy maize modified starch can bring cost savings of up to 15% when replacing in sauces and removes the pasty texture associated with other texturisers, said the company. Derived ...

Research has brought clarity to the longstanding question of how starch granules form in the seeds of Triticeae crops – wheat, barley, and rye - unlocking diverse potential benefits for numerous ...

In the developing endosperm of monocotyledonous plants, starch granules are synthesized and deposited within the amyloplast. A soluble stromal fraction was isolated from amyloplasts of immature maize ...

The granule-bound starch-synthases from normal and waxy maize kernels have been solubilized, partially purified, and characterized. Two broad categories of starch synthases were revealed with ...

For the purpose of personalised therapies, a research group has used 3D printing to develop tablets based on different types of starch, and has confirmed that drug release could be tailored by ...
