The relationships between the physicochemical properties of wheat starch and the characteristics of 3D printing were studied by extracting wheat starch from three kinds of wheat flour with different gluten contents. The results showed that wheat starch extracted from high-gluten wheat flour (MS) and medium-gluten wheat flour (ZS) exhibited more accurate printing and better quality than wheat starch extracted from low-gluten wheat flour (JS). ZS had moderate final viscosity and setback value, indicating good extrusion performance and high elasticity. Therefore, the printing quality of ZS was the best, with obvious and unbroken printing lines. The 3D-printed sample made from ZS had dimensions closest to the designed CAD model. Additionally, there were no significant differences in the functional groups of native starch, gelatinized starch, and post-3D-printed starch among the three types. ZS exhibited the most regular microstructure. Therefore, wheat starch extracted from medium-gluten wheat flour was determined to be the most suitable for 3D printing. This research could provide a new theoretical basis for the application of wheat starch in 3D-printed food and offer new technical support for practical production.

High-amylose wheat has garnered significant attention from the food industry for its potential to produce low-glycaemic food products. It is well-established that there is a direct correlation between the amylose content in flour and the amount of resistant starch (RS) in foods. Recently, some research initiatives have successfully produced high-amylose durum wheat by targeting key enzymes in the amylopectin biosynthesis pathway, though this has resulted in a reduction in seed weight.

This study examined effects of corn bran hemicellulose (CBH) with three molecular weight levels-CBH-H (M = 789 × 10), CBH-M (M = 15 × 10), and CBH-L (M = 1 × 10)-on wheat starch digestion and explored the underlying mechanism by investigating their interactions with starch and enzymatic activities. The results demonstrated that when heated at 100 °C and 130 °C, CBH-H exhibited the strongest inhibition on peak and setback viscosity, reducing them by 49.3 % and 44.

Plant-specific WUSCHEL-related homeobox (Wox) transcription factors (TFs) are crucial for plant growth and development. However, the molecular mechanism of Wox-mediated regulation of thousand kernel weight (TKW) in crops remains elusive. In this research, we identified a major TKW-associated quantitative trait locus (QTL) on wheat chromosome 5DS by performing a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of a Chinese wheat mini-core collection (MCC) in four environments combined by bulked segregant analysis (BSA) and bulked segregant RNA-sequencing (BSR-seq) of wheat grains exhibiting a wide range of TKWs.

Starch retrogradation involves both short- and long-range intermolecular interactions, while their relations with starch chain-length distribution (CLD) and digestibility are less clear. To address this, 9 types of starches with distinct CLDs were analyzed for intermolecular interactions and digestibility over 7 days of retrogradation. Wheat starch exhibited a higher ratio of long-range intermolecular interactions, while pea, mung bean, potato, sweet potato, lentil, and corn starch formed more short-range intermolecular interactions.

This study explored composite gels' structural properties and short/long-term retrogradation behavior by varying ratios of wheat starch to gluten and gliadin to glutenin. The results showed that as the proportion of gluten increased, the degree of order and crystalline conformation was lost, manifested by an increase in the gel network's porosity and protein aggregation. The dilution effect of gluten on starch and the water competition significantly reduced the viscosity and elasticity of the system, and the ratio of glu75-gli25 had the most significant impact on the viscoelasticity.
