We determined the resistant starch (RS) content ofhigh amylose wheat (HAW) which was recently crossbred in Japan. Bythe crossbreeding, the endosperm starch content of HAW wasdecreased about 20% in comparison with that of normal wheat. HAWcontained 1.3% of RS in the starch, and the content was six timeshigher than that of normal wheat starch. After heat-moisturetreatment the RS content of normal wheat and HAW starch were 0.5and 2.7%, respectively. The RS content of HAW was doubled ofuntreated one. In case of corn starch after heat-moisturetreatment, the RS content of two type of high amylose corn, HAC andA632 increased to 26.2% and 2.7%, respectively. The RS of normalcorn starch was scarcely contained. From the results, theheat-moisture treatment may be able to increase the RS content ofwheat, although the treatment of wheat starch was not effective asthat of corn starch.
