Depending on the plant,
starch generally contains 20 to 25%
amylose and 75 to 80% amylopectin...

Starch consists of
amylose and
amylopectin which affect the
textural properties of
manufactured foods.

Amylose leaching:
Penetration of

building upon Hanes'
helical model,
proposed that the
helical conformation of
amylose creates a

Retrogradation is a
