Physicochemical properties of wheat starches and their relationship to liquefaction and fermentative bioethanol performance

Fourteen varieties of wheat grown in western Canada were assessed for differences in starch content and structure. Physicochemical properties of starch such as amylopectin to amylose ratio, starch granule morphology, and thermal and pasting properties were all found to vary significantly between var...
