Detailed explanation-1: -It is composed of two substances: amylose, which is a linear polysaccharide, and amylopectin, which is a branched polysaccharide. Both the forms of starch are polymers of -D-glucose. Natural starch contains 10–20% amylose and 80–90% amylopectin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Amylopectin is a branched chain of glucose units linked by -1, 4-glycosidic bonds and -1, 6-glycosidic bonds, whereas amylose is a linear chain of -1, 4-glucans (Alcazar-Alay and Meireles, 2015).
Detailed explanation-3: -Amylopectin is a polysaccharide made up of many units of glucose linked together by linear 1-4 glycosidic linkages and 1-6 glycosidic linkages. The function of amylopectin is to store energy in plants and make up the structure of the plant starch granule as a storage unit.
