  2. Amylose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amylose

    Amylose A is a parallel double-helix of linear chains of glucose. Amylose is made up of α(1→4) bound glucose molecules. The carbon atoms on glucose are numbered, starting at the aldehyde (C=O) carbon, so, in amylose, the 1-carbon on one glucose molecule is linked to the 4-carbon on the next glucose molecule (α(1→4) bonds). [3]

  3. Maltose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltose

    Amylase reaction consisting of hydrolyzing amylose, producing maltose. Maltose (/ ˈ m ɔː l t oʊ s / [2] or / ˈ m ɔː l t oʊ z / [3]), also known as maltobiose or malt sugar, is a disaccharide formed from two units of glucose joined with an α(1→4) bond. In the isomer isomaltose, the two glucose molecules

  4. Polysaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysaccharide

    Natural saccharides are generally composed of simple carbohydrates called monosaccharides with general formula (CH 2 O) n where n is three or more. Examples of monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, and glyceraldehyde. [4] Polysaccharides, meanwhile, have a general formula of C x (H 2 O) y where x and y are usually large numbers between 200 and ...

  5. Starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch

    A number of starch synthases available in plastids then adds the ADP-glucose via α-1,4-glycosidic bond to a growing chain of glucose residues, liberating ADP. The ADP-glucose is almost certainly added to the non-reducing end of the amylose polymer, as the UDP-glucose is added to the non-reducing end of glycogen during glycogen synthesis. [19]

  6. Amylopectin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amylopectin

    Starch is mostly composed of amylopectin and amylose, but amylopectin has been shown to degrade more easily. The reason is most likely because amylopectin is highly branched and these branches are more available to digestive enzymes. In contrast, amylose tends to form helices and contain hydrogen bonding. [23]

  7. Monosaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosaccharide

    Most monosaccharides have the formula (CH 2 O) x (though not all molecules with this formula are monosaccharides). Examples of monosaccharides include glucose (dextrose), fructose (levulose), and galactose. Monosaccharides are the building blocks of disaccharides (such as sucrose, lactose and maltose) and polysaccharides (such as cellulose and ...

  8. Carbohydrate conformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_conformation

    The chair conformation of six-membered rings have a dihedral angle of 60° between adjacent substituents thus usually making it the most stable conformer. Since there are two possible chair conformation steric and stereoelectronic effects such as the anomeric effect, 1,3-diaxial interactions, dipoles and intramolecular hydrogen bonding must be taken into consideration when looking at relative ...

  9. Starch gelatinization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch_gelatinization

    Due to strong associations of hydrogen bonding, longer amylose molecules (and starch which has a higher amylose content) will form a stiff gel. [6] Amylopectin molecules with longer branched structure (which makes them more similar to amylose), increases the tendency to form strong gels. High amylopectin starches will have a stable gel, but ...
