The gelatinization of starches in cotyledon cells of Tutankhamen's pea (Pisum sativum) was studied. The loss of birefringence of starches in cells was low in the temperature range of /* to 1*, compared with those of isolated starches. While the di#erential scanning calorimetry curve of cells was similar to that of isolated starches, the onset temperature of endotherm was slightly higher than that for isolated starches. The solubilities and swelling power of starches in the cells were also low compared with those of isolated starches. From these results, it was concluded that the gelatinization starches inside cotyledon cells of tutankamen's pea was suppressed as well as those of adzuki, kidney and faba beans. Thus, it was suggested that Tutankhamen's pea was suitable for production of an (bean jam).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
