Starch, particularly maize starch, having an amylose content of more than 80% w/w, including physically or chemically modified derivatives thereof, and destructurized and non-destructurized forms thereof. Also, disclosed are hybrid maize seeds capable of producing a starch having an amylose content of more than 80%. Also disclosed are starch fractions of enhanced dietary fiber and/or resistant starch content.

High amylose starch and resistant starch fractions

Hybrid maize seeds which yield a starch having an amylose content of 80% or more are disclosed as are starches having that amylose content. Compositions including these high amylose starches are also disclosed. Fractions of high amylose starches which have been formed on the basis of granule size are shown to have enhanced dietary fiber and/or resistant starch content. Such fractions enable the preparation of food compositions of enhanced dietary fiber and/or resistant starch content.

A biodegradable or digestible matrix is provided suitable for use as a controlled release of an agriculturally active agent such as insecticides, fungicides, fertilizers, plant growth regulants, etc. The matrix comprises an amylaceous material optionally in association with a synthetic polymer and is formed under elevated temperature and pressure.
