Knowledge of the structure and properties of microscopic surfaces of durum wheat starch granules is essential for understanding the functional and physico‐chemical properties. The nanoscale surface undulations on the starch granules inside durum wheat macroscopically influence the milling properties. The objective of this study was to visualize the surface morphology and the size of starch grains of vitreous and nonvitreous durum wheat kernels using atomic force microscopy. The distribution of…
