  2. Amylose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amylose

    Amylose is a polysaccharide made of α-D-glucose units, bonded to each other through α(1→4) glycosidic bonds. It is one of the two components of starch , making up approximately 20–30%. Because of its tightly packed helical structure, amylose is more resistant to digestion than other starch molecules and is therefore an important form of ...

  3. Amylopectin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amylopectin

    Amylopectin contains a larger number of Glucose units (2000 to 200,000) as compared to Amylose containing 200 to 1000 α-Glucose units. In contrast, amylose contains very few α(1→6) bonds, or even none at all. This causes amylose to be hydrolyzed more slowly, but also creates higher density and insolubility. [8]

  4. Starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch

    Structure of the amylose molecule Structure of the amylopectin molecule Starch or amylum is a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of numerous glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds . This polysaccharide is produced by most green plants for energy storage.

  5. Carbohydrate synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_synthesis

    Carbohydrate synthesis is a sub-field of organic chemistry concerned with generating complex carbohydrate structures from simple units (monosaccharides). The generation of carbohydrate structures usually involves linking monosaccharides or oligosaccharides through glycosidic bonds, a process called glycosylation. Therefore, it is important to ...

  6. Oligosaccharide nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligosaccharide_nomenclature

    Two common examples are cellulose, a main component of the cell wall in plants, and starch, a name derived from the Anglo-Saxon stercan, meaning to stiffen. [2] To name a polysaccharide composed of a single type of monosaccharide, that is a homopolysaccharide, the ending “-ose” of the monosaccharide is replaced with “-an”. [3]

    6. BurgerFi. As a relatively small and new chain, BurgerFi is getting a lot of praise for serving honest-to-Joe good burgers accompanied by equally good fries. The chain prides itself on using ...

  9. Maltotriose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltotriose

    It is most commonly produced by the digestive enzyme alpha-amylase (a common enzyme in human saliva) on amylose in starch. The creation of both maltotriose and maltose during this process is due to the random manner in which alpha amylase hydrolyses α-1,4 glycosidic bonds. It is the shortest chain oligosaccharide that can be classified as ...
