  2. Starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch

    Starch or amylum is a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of numerous glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds. ... Slowly digestible starch can be found in raw cereals

  3. Potato starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_starch

    Potato starch is starch extracted from potatoes. The cells of the root tubers of the potato plant contain leucoplasts (starch grains). To extract the starch, the potatoes are crushed, and the starch grains are released from the destroyed cells. The starch is then left to settle out of solution or separated by hydrocyclones, then dried to powder.

  4. 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]

  5. Resistant starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistant_starch

    Resistant starch content of cooked rice was found to decrease due to grinding; resistant starch content of oats dropped from 16 to 3% during cooking. [20] Other types of processing increase resistant starch content. If cooking includes excess water, the starch is gelatinized and becomes more digestible.

  6. Polysaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysaccharide

    Starch (a polymer of glucose) is used as a storage polysaccharide in plants, being found in the form of both amylose and the branched amylopectin. In animals, the structurally similar glucose polymer is the more densely branched glycogen, sometimes called "animal starch". Glycogen's properties allow it to be metabolized more quickly, which ...

    A long-term international research project studied the effect of taking resistant starch, which is also found in oats, cereal, beans and cold pasta.

  8. Starch production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch_production

    Starch production is an isolation of starch from plant sources. It takes place in starch plants. Starch industry is a part of food processing which is using starch as a starting material for production of starch derivatives, hydrolysates, dextrins. At first, the raw material for the preparation of the starch was wheat. Currently main starch ...

  9. Corn starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_starch

    The starch is obtained from the endosperm of the kernel. Corn starch is a common food ingredient, often used to thicken sauces or soups, and to make corn syrup and other sugars. [3] Corn starch is versatile, easily modified, and finds many uses in industry such as adhesives, in paper products, as an anti-sticking agent, and textile ...
