Abstract
The mechanical strength of wheat endosperm and its laboratory models is determined by the types and contents of endosperm components. Studies on endosperm models enable controlling contents of endosperm components and then determining correlations between the model’s components and their mechanical resistance. In this article we present a research on correlations between contents of protein fractions and mechanical resistance of wheat endosperm models. In contrast to previous reports, we showed that the starch fraction was the main factor influencing the mechanical resistance of the analyzed models. Simultaneously, we demonstrated no correlations between the contents of protein fractions in starch and a wheat hardness index. In addition, we showed some correlations between contents of protein fractions in the models and their mechanical resistance. However, these correlations were so weak that they should be treated as secondary.
