Starch is a polysaccharide composed of the chains of
glucose residues bound with a glycosidic linkage, however
the structures formed are spatial in character. It contains
two fractions: amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a linear
(rather poorly-branched) fraction with a medium degree of
polymerization (reaching 102–103) [Murugesan et al., 1993].
In amylose, glucose residues are bound with a-1,4-glycosidic
linkages. Amylose chains with a high degree of polymerization
contain from few to a dozen or so lateral branches.
Glucose residues of those branches are bound to the main
amylose chain with a-1,6-glycosidic linkages. Amylopectin,
with a degree of polymerization reaching 106
