PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide novel corn starch.SOLUTION: Starch of the present invention has an amylose content of from about 2 wt.% to about 20 wt.% as measured using an amylose/amylopectin assay kit, and an aqueous starch pasting temperature that is at least about 5% greater than the starch pasting temperature of control starch as measured using RVA analysis, where the starch is derived from a waxy-sugary 2 corn plant including at least one wxS allele in the endosperm. The starch further has an enthalpy change of crystallinity of at least about 30% greater than an enthalpy change of crystallinity of the control starch as measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The starch further has a distribution of starch granule sizes, where the distribution of starch granule sizes includes at least about 40% fewer granules less than 5 microns compared to a proportion of granules less than 5 microns of the control starch as observed using a scanning electron microscope.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】新規のトウモロコシデンプンの提供。【解決手段】アミロース/アミロペクチンアッセイキットを用いて測定して、約２ｗｔ％～約２０ｗｔ％のアミロース含有分を含み、ＲＶＡ分析を用いて測定して、対照デンプンのデンプン糊化温度よりも少なくとも約５％高い水性デンプン糊化温度を備える、デンプンであって、デンプンは胚乳に少なくとも１つのwxSアレルを含むワキシーシュガリー２コーン植物に由来する、デンプン。示差走査熱量測定（ＤＳＣ）を用いて測定して、対照デンプンの結晶化のエンタルピー変化よりも少なくとも約３０％高い結晶化のエンタルピー変化をさらに備えるデンプン。走査型電子顕微鏡を用いて観察して、デンプン粒度の分布が、対照デンプンの５ミクロン未満の粒子の割合と比較して、少なくとも約４０％少ない５ミクロン未満の粒子を含む、デンプン粒度の分布をさらに備えるデンプン。【選択図】なし
