Starch is a nutritional polysaccharide and is the major storage carbohydrate in plants. It is a homopolyscaccaride composed of two polysaccharides: Amylose and Amylopectin.

Amylose vs Amylopectin
Amylose
1.It constitutes about 20% of the starch
2. Amylose is a straight chain polymer of D-glucose units
3. The bonding involved is α-1->4 glycosidic linkage
4. With iodine amylose stains blue
5. α and β amylases can hydrolyse amylose
6. more soluble in water
7. Soluble in hot water without swelling
8. Soluble in hot water but does not form starch gel or paste
Amylopectin
1.It constitutes about 80% of the starch
2. Amylopectin is a branched-chain polymer of D-glucose units
3. The bonding involved is α-1->4 glycosidic linkage and α-1->6 glycosidic linkage at branch points
4. With iodine amylopectin stains reddish brown
5. α and β amylases can hydrolyse α-1->4 glycosidic linkage but cannot hydolyse α-1->6 glycosidic linkage at branch points of amylopectin
6. less soluble in water
7. Soluble in hot water with swelling
8. Soluble in hot water but form starch gel or paste
nice work ... it helped me a lot to complete my notes ... thanks a lot .....
ردحذفMine too
حذفthis is good.
ردحذفVery much thanks ji
ردحذفgood..
ردحذفThank you
ردحذفis amylose even soluble in water? in some notes on net it says its different from amylopectin because it is not soluble in water.!
ردحذفthanks (Y)
ردحذفthanks it helps alot~!
ردحذفvery helpful tnx
ردحذفThank a million!:D
ردحذفcan iodine fit neatly inside amylopectin as like amylose?
ردحذفthanks for this piece.
ردحذفthanks for this piece.
ردحذفit really helped
ردحذفthnkyou it helped me a lot
ردحذفThanks, much helpful !
ردحذفthis was good :)
ردحذفNicely explained..sir ji
ردحذفthanks...rili helped
ردحذفamylase is simply a long chain of glucose molecule however amylopectin is branch attach of glucose in the glucose molecule. (IA)
ردحذفAmylose is a glucose polymer with long chain-like molecules, while amylopectin consists of larger highly branched molecules (1 to 6). Glycogen consists of even more branches than amylopectin. Amylose and amylopectin are classified as starch, and are found in plants, while glycogen serves as the main energy reserve for animals.
ردحذفthanks for this.
ردحذفits useful..Thank you
ردحذفReally good....useful
ردحذفthanks for you🙂🙂
ردحذفthis article has played an important role to accomplish my study on starch
ردحذفIsn't amylose less soluble than amylopectin because amylose is more linear and has less ends to form bonds with water molecules?
ردحذفthis is helpful to complete my notes
ردحذفNice work. You make teaching much easier
ردحذفthanks helped me alot
ردحذفthank you so much...
ردحذفthans a lot
