Amylograms of standard maize starch (ZP 434) and waxy maize starch (ZP704wx)The studies of gelatinisation and viscosity of maize starch are of enormous practicalsignificance for the animal feed production, especially feed that is made by theapplication of a modern procedure of thermal processing of raw materials, for both theproduction process itself and for usability of nutrients in the animal organism.Maize starch and grain digestibilityNot only the starch structure and its functional properties from the aspect of a starch rolein the animal feed, but also its digestibility is also important. Results on thedetermination of the digestibility of six different types of native maize starch by -amylase of pancreas of swine are presented in Figure 2 [9].26
