Abstract

Starch fractions differing in size and shape were isolated from greengram (Phaseolus aureus, mungbeans, GG) and Bengalgram (Cicer arietinum, chickpeas, BG) flour and their properties investigated. All starches were non-ionic and exhibited single state swelling with high solubility in water and DMSO. The starch content of different populations of granules varied from 40 to 80%, the amylose content was in the range 32-46%, and the protein and lipid contents varied depending on size and shape. Brabender viscograms indicated that BG starch had lower values for peak and setback viscosities than GG starch. Fatty acid analysis of lipid fractions showed that palmitic acid was predominant. GG starch exhibited slightly higher in vitro digestibility than BG starch. [From En summ.]
