Abstract
The present invention is directed to a waxy maize starch derived from a single plant which is heterozygous for the recessive sugary-2 allele. Such starch has excellent low temperature and freeze-thaw stability, a relatively high peak viscosity, a relatively high pasting temperature, and intact granules. The starch is useful in a wide variety of food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.
