Characteristics of physicochemical properties, structure and in vitro digestibility of seed starches from five loquat cultivars.

Summary

This study examined the properties of starch extracted from loquat seeds. The starches had high amylose content and varied in granule size and structure. They showed variations in swelling power, solubility, gelatinization parameters, and digestibility. The high proportion of resistant starch suggests potential applications in food and industrial products.
