According to extensive research on wheat and barley, two distinct starch granule types exist: A-type starch granules (AS), larger than 10 µm in diameter, and B-type starch granules (BS), measuring less than 10 µm. The core difference between A starch and B starch lies in their size, which in turn influences their chemical composition, structural properties, and functional behavior in food processing.
