Advertisements
Solution 1
Amylose:
- Water soluble components
- Constitutes 15-20% of starch
Amylopectin:
- Water insoluble component
- Constitutes 80-85% starch.
Solution 2
| Amylose | Amylopectin | |
| (a) | Only C1− C4 glycosidic linkage | C1− C4 glycosidic linkage but, branching occurs by C1− C6 glycosidic linkage |
| (b) | Water-soluble component of starch (15-20%) | Water-insoluble component of starch (80-85%) |
