| In vitro it will act on both amylose and amylopectin, and can catalyse the formation of large circular molecules from both of these substrates. |
| Carnaroli rice is rich in amylose, a substance that helps to make consistent the grain. |
| The two major components of starch are amylose and amylopectin. |
| Inulin is a soluble carbohydrate of much lower molecular weight than either amylose or amylopectin. |
| As a result, the starch produced has little or no amylose and consists of amylopectin which modifies the physical properties of the starch. |
| Most plant starches consist of a mixture of two components: amylose and amylopectin. |
