Waxy wheat contains<1% amylase in the endosperm strarch . This research has utilized waxy wheat(the progeny of Baihuomai × Kanto 107) and main cultivated varieties in South China as parents .We have developed some special waxy wheats , such as :Nuomai No.12 ,Bainuomai No.17.
The starch in the endosperm of these two waxy wheats contains 100% amylopectin (Amylode-free) . These special wheatlines has integrated the good characters of waxy starch , high yield and widely adaptability . The parameters of Peak Viscosity , Trough Viscosity and Final Viscosity in Nuomai No.12 and Bainuomai No.17 are 36.4 and 2.2 ; 8.3 and 22.5 ; 12.7 and 3.5RVU respectively .Nuomail 12 has abundance of mineral elements such as Fe, Na , Mg , K ; Bainuomai No.17 has abundance of mineral elements such as Fe , Mg , Se , both of them are rich in pentosan , a healthful ingredient for human body . In addition , Nuomai No.12 has possessed good agronomy character and nature of strong springiness and satisfying early maturity (10days more than the common cultivars). The rice glue ball made of Nuomai No.12 and Bainuomai No.17 are nutritious and smooth to the taste while the soup is not muddy . All the good characters above ensure Nuomai No.12 and Bainuomai No.17 wide market in the future
