Starch was isolated from 98 hard red winter (HRW) wheat and 99 hard red spring (HRS) wheats. Granule size/volume distributions of the isolated starches were analyzed using a laser diffraction particle size analyzer. There were significant differences in the size distribution between HRW and HRS wheats. The B-granules (< 10 mu m in diameter) occupied volumes in the range 28.5-49.1% (mean, 39.9%) for HRW wheat, while HRS wheat B-granules occupied volumes in the range 37.1-56.2% (mean, 47.3%). The mean granule sizes of the distribution peaks less than 10 mu m in diameter also showed a significant difference (HRW, 4.32 vs. HRS, 4.49 mu m), but the mean sizes of the distribution peaks larger than 10 pm were not significantly different (21.54 vs. 21.47 mu m). Numerous wheat and flour quality traits also showed significant correlation to starch granule size distributions. Most notably, protein content was inversely correlated with parameters of B-granules. Crumb grain score appeared to be affected by starch granule size distribution, showing significant inverse correlations with B-granules. Furthermore, the linear correlations were improved when the ratio of B-granules to protein content was used, and the polynomial relation was applied. There also appeared to be an optimum range of B-granules for different protein content flour to produce bread with better crumb grain. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
