Description

General description

Starch is a natural storage carbohydrate[1] polymer produced by plants[2] and varies in its form and function.[1] It is considered as a macroconstituent of food[1] and serves as an energy source. It is renewable and can be biodegraded.[2] Glucose polymers, amylose and amylopectin forms starch molecule.[1] Starch influences the food structure and quality.[3] It is a native high amylose corn starch.

Application

Starch from corn has been used:

• in the preparation of test diet pellets[4]
• to study the activity of recombinant β-amylase (BAM) proteins[5]
• to study the amylopectin molecular structures and functional properties[6]
