The structural properties of covered and naked barley starches and those components were investigated. ${\beta}-amylosis\;limit(%)$ 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 ${\overline{OCL}}$ and inner chain length${\overline{ICL}}$ 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${\overline{dp}}>55$ and bimodal amylopectin components of ${\overline{dp}_(35-45)$ and ${\overline{dp}}(10-20)$ hydrolysates. Also, hydrolysis products by sequential hydrolysis with pullulanase and ${\beta}-amylase$ contained 0.03-0.5% non-hydrolyzed peak components of ${\overline{dp}}>55$. The elution profiles of ${\beta}-amylase$ hydrolysates yielded two peaks consisting of the inner components${\overline{dp}}>55$ and the outer chain components of amylopectin${\overline{dp}}>10$ regardless of samples. However, ${\overline{dp}}$ distributions of ${\overline{dp}>55}$ hydrolysates exhibited the significant differences due to the varieties.
