Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Starch contains two glucose polymer components – amylopectin and amylose. Both polymers have -1, 4-linked linear chains and -1, 6-linked branch points. Amylose is primarily linear and has very few branches.
Detailed explanation-2: -In this paper, five commonly available starch types (potato, wheat, tapioca, corn and rice starch) are characterized with respect to size and shape.
Detailed explanation-3: -Starch is the storage form of glucose in plants. There are two forms of starch: amylose and amylopectin. Structurally they differ in that amylose is a linear polysaccharide, whereas amylopectin is branched.
