Mariann Rakszegi, László Láng, Zoltán BedőAgricultural Research Institute of the HAS, Martonvásár, Hungary Importance of starch properties in quality oriented wheat breeding
Starch in practice • Inert filler (?) • Need of theprocessing industry • - Japanese noodle • increase of water absorption (meat and paper industry) • source of carbohydrates • Resistance starch • Starch is 65-70% of the dry weight of the kernel • 20-30% of starch is amylose
Biosynthetic enzymes of starch Amilose/amilopectin ratio determines the end use of flour
Aims • Studying diversity of starch propeties in 20 normal winter wheat genotypes (MV) • Starch content (Polarimetric method) • Amilose/amilopectin ratio (Megazyme) • Starch damage (Chopin SDmatic) • Starch viscosity (Rapid Visco Analyser)
Starch content SD 5%= 7,2
Amylose content of the varieties SD 5%= 5,4
Viscosity (RVU) Time (min) RVA curve - Water absorption - Final product quality • ability to form a gel • sample quality • ability to withstand heating • factor for processes Temperature (C)
RVA-derived pasting properties and starch damage of the varieties
Starch damage SD 5%= 2,3
Hierarchical Cluster Analysis for starch properties Starch damage middle high low
Summary • Great variability of starch properties were found in case of winter wheat varieties • There was a difference in variability of RVA results when flour or starch was measured, as proteins can influence results • As differences in starch properties can be important for the processing industry, further studies will be carried out
