Abstract:Background and ObjectivesGermination has been extensively studied, but the changes in different starch components have not yet been entirely elucidated. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of germination on the starch composition, physicochemical properties, and structure of red sorghum seeds.FindingsGermination of red sorghum starch led to decreased amylose, water absorption, and syneresis, but increased oil absorption, solubility, and swelling power. The freeze–thaw stability of germinated sorghu… Show more
