  • Flours and starch with a very high amylopectin content and methods for the production and uses thereof
    Patent number: 7348036
    Abstract: A full waxy wheat flour or starch characterized in that its amylose content is about 0%±about 1%, and a process for preparing a functional full waxy wheat flour including preparing an initial flour with a defined size grading starting from full waxy wheat grains, and subjecting the flour to a heat-moisture treatment including adding water or steam and heat energy to achieve a degree of gelatinization of starch between about 15 and about 99% for less than about 5 minutes.

  • Production of genetically modified plants with puroindolines
    Publication number: 20050022265
    Abstract: A new method for increasing expression of a puroindoline protein in a plant, said puroindoline protein modifying grain hardness, notably breadmaking quality, said method comprising the steps of: (e) preparing a DNA construct which will allow the expression of a puroindoline protein, (f) introducing said DNA construct into plant cell, plant tissue, or plant, (g) selecting the plant cell, or plant tissue, or plant which stably maintain the puroindoline expression, (h) and optionally regenerating fertile stable transformed plant.
