Differences in endosperm cell wall integrity in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) milling fractions impacts on the way starch responds to gelatinization and pasting treatments and its subsequent enzymatic in vitro digestibility KU Leuven
Wheat grain roller milling disrupts the starch containing endosperm cell walls and extracts white flour. Many wheat based food processes involve simultaneous use of heat and water which then cause starch to gelatinize and enhance its digestibility. In this study, the impact of starch enclosure in intact endosperm cell walls on starch physicochemical properties and digestibility was investigated. Wheat kernels milled into coarse farina (average ...
