Abstract

Initial reducing sugars and diastatic activity, expressed as "maltose value," are increased in irradiated wheat and are functions of dose levels in the range 20 - 200 Krad. Both alpha-and beta-amylases retain their activities in irradiated wheat, but the sensitivities of starch to amylolysis are increased with radiation dose levels. Latent beta-amylase present in resting seeds, is also radioresistant. Susceptibility of starch to radiation treatment is more pronounced with moist than dry grain.
