The structural properties of covered and naked barley starches and those components were investigated. ¥â-amylosis limit(%) of covered and naked barley starches were 58.6 and 56.3%, respectively and those of their amyloses and amylopectins were 87.0, 77.7, 57.6 and 52.0%, respectively. The ratios of outer chain length ((OCL)£þ) and inner chain length((ICL)£þ) for amylopectins of covered and naked barley were about 2.2:1 and 2.0:1, respectively. The elution curves by Sephadex G-75 after debranching starches with pullulanase were similar patterns for two starches and yielded two peaks consisting of amylose component((dp)£þ$gt;55) and bimodal amylopectin components of (dp)£þ(35-45) and (dp)£þ(10-20) hydrolysates. Also, hydrolysis products by sequential hydrolysis with pullulanase and ¥â-amylase contained 0.03-0.5% non-hydrolyzed peak components of (dp)£þ55. The elution profiles of ¥â-amylase hydrolysates yielded two peaks consisting of the inner components((dp)£þ$gt; 55) and the outer chain components of amylopectin((dp)£þ $lt; 10) regardless of samples. However, the (dp)£þ distributions of (dp)£þ$gt;55 hydrolysates exhibited the significant differences due to the varieties.
