Abstract: Two types of starch granule A and B type starch granule were separated in wheat grain in this study.The starch composition contents and pasting properties in starch granules were studied and compared. The resultshowed that amylose content of A type starch granule was significantly higher than that of B type starch granule,andamylopectin content of A type starch granule was significantly lower than that of B type starch granule. Thus the ratioof amylose to amylopectin of A type starch granule was high compared with B type starch granule. RVA parametersincluding peak viscosity though viscosity breakdown peak time and pasting temperature of B type starch granulewere significantly higher than those of A type starch granules. These may be due to B type starch granules were well-set compared with A type starch granules.
