The objective was to evaluate the adhesion properties of particles based on the main wheat endosperm components (starch, protein, and arabinoxylan) that are characterized by large diversity in terms of chemical composition and particle characteristics. Experiments were conducted by using the force spectroscopy mode to determine interactions generated by the surfaces of particles that were glued on AFM tips, and two reference flat and smooth surfaces, a glass and a polysine slide. Particular care has been devoted to characterize the surfaces in contact since local contact radius is a key parameter in the interpretation of the interactions. The statistical analysis of the normalized adhesion forces have shown the sensitivity of the AFM technique for hydrophobic wheat components and their correlation with the surface tension of the particles. %G English %L hal-01268066 %U https://hal.science/hal-01268066 %~ CIRAD %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ INRA %~ IATE %~ L2C %~ AGREENIUM %~ MIPS %~ SABP %~ BA %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ INSTITUT-AGRO-MONTPELLIER %~ INRAE %~ INRAEOCCITANIEMONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2 %~ UM-2015-2021 %~ INSTITUT-AGRO %~ PUBLIS-EC-IA-MTP %~ PUBLIS-EC-IA
