Overview

Description

Starch is a natural storage carbohydrate polymer produced by plants, usually derived from crops such as corn and potatoes. Starch is divided into two types, amylose and amylopectin, which differ in form and function. Starch is renewable and biodegradable. Starch is generally insoluble in cold water and only forms a suspension. Application fields of starch include: paper industry, textile industry, food processing industry, confectionery industry, adhesive production and other fields.

Features

·High swelling
·Lower retrogradation
·Strong acid, alkali and mechanical resistance
·Excellent film formation
·Strong stability

Application

·As a reference standard for the determination of amyloglucosidase activity
·As a substrate for amylase activity in fish digestive system homogenates
·As a component of feed solutions in a simulated human intestinal redox model
