Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Amylose is an unbranched linear molecule polymer composed of -1, 4-d-glucose units linked by -d-(1–4) linkages. This naturally occurring polysaccharide not only swells in water but is also resistant to pancreatic -amylase and can also be degraded by the colonic microflora enzymes (Basit, 2000).
Detailed explanation-2: -Amylose is a straight linear chain of glucose molecules linked by -l, 4 glycosidic linkages as shown in Fig.
Detailed explanation-3: -Amylose is a linear molecule of (1
