Regenerated desiccant devices for cooling stored grains
About 10% of all food grains that are harvested are ruined by insects and moulds during storage. One method of protecting stored grains is to cool them, as this reduces biological activities such as insect pest reproduction and mould growth. Cooling grains also reduces that rate at which moisture …

Cloning and characterisation of the waxy genes of wheat and investigation of their potential applications
Wheat starch consists of amylose and amylopectin. The appropriate end-use of starch is dependent on an important property of starch, the ratio of amylose:amylopectin. Amylose is synthesized by the waxy protein, a predominant enzyme in the endosperm, the granule-bound starch synthase (GBSSI). A …
