Provided are food and drink ingredients produced from wheat grain which has a low level (2-30%) of total starch branching enzyme II activity and an amylose content in the starch of at least 50% (w/w), and processes for producing and using the ingredients. Also provided are foods produced from the ingredients which may be used in humans to improve one or more parameters of metabolic health, bowel health or cardiovascular health.

Food ingredients produced from high amylose wheat

Wheat grain () comprising an embryo and starch, wherein the embryo comprises two identical alleles of an SBEIIa-A gene, two identical alleles of an SBEIIa-B gene and two identical alleles of an SBEIIa-D gene, wherein each of the SBEIIa genes gives rise to an amount of protein (w/w) or a protein having SBEIIa activity which is lower than the corresponding wild-type gene, and at least one of said genes comprises a point mutation, wherein the starch comprises amylose such that the grain has an amylose content of at least 50% (w/w) as a proportion of the extractable starch of the grain.

High amylose wheat&#x2014;II

A wheat variety designated HAW12-156, the plants and seeds of wheat variety HAW12-156, methods for producing a wheat plant produced by crossing the variety HAW12-156 with another wheat plant, and hybrid wheat seeds and plants produced by crossing the variety HAW12-156 with another wheat line or plant, and the creation of variants by backcrossing, mutagenesis or transformation of variety HAW12-156 are disclosed. Methods for producing other wheat varieties or breeding lines derived from wheat variety HAW12-156 and to wheat varieties or breeding lines produced by those methods are also provided.

Wheat variety HAW12-156

High amylose wheat-II

Provided is a Wheat grain () comprising an embryo, starch and one, two or three SBEIIa proteins, said embryo comprising two identical alleles of an SBEIIa-A gene, two identical alleles of an SBEIIa-B gene and two identical alleles of an SBEIIa-D gene, wherein the starch has an amylose content of at least 50% (w/w) as a proportion of the extractable starch of the grain, and wherein at least one of the SBEIIa proteins is produced in the developing wheat endosperm and has starch branching enzyme activity.
