The effects of amylose content and other starch properties on concentrated starch gel properties were evaluated using 10 wheat cultivars with different amylose content. Starches were isolated from grains of 2 waxy and 8 nonwaxy wheat lines. The amylose content of waxy wheat lines was 1.4-1.7% and that of nonwaxy lines was 18.5-28.6%. Starch gels were prepared from a concentrated starch suspension (30 and 40%). Gelatinized starch was cooled and stored at 5 degrees C for 1, 8, 16, 24, and 48 h.
