Sweet-waxy is a new type of maize with waxy and sugary double recessive genes. This study aims to clarify starch structural and functional properties of this maize type. Grains with sweet-waxy and waxy phenotypes were separated from an ear using the two sweet-waxy maize hybrids of ATN and NKY as materials. Compared with waxy maize starch, the sweet-waxy maize starch mainly comprises small-sized round granules despite the typical waxy character of both starches. Mw, Mn, and relative crystallinity of sweet-waxy starch were higher than those of waxy starch in both hybrids. The average chain length of waxy starch was higher in ATN but lower in NKY compared with that of sweet-waxy starch. However, polydispersity (Mw/Mn) and F1 fraction were high in sweet-waxy and waxy starches in ATN and NKY, respectively. Breakdown viscosity, gelatinization enthalpy and temperatures of both hybrids were low in sweet-waxy starch. Peak viscosity was higher in waxy starch in NKY and similar between sweet-waxy and waxy starches in ATN. Retrogradation percentage was high and low for sweet-waxy starches in ATN and NKY, respectively.
