Chromatographic and enzymic studies of the insoluble residues obtained by hydrolysis of various cereal starches with acid have suggested a new model for the structure of waxy maize amylopectin. A review dealing with the mechanism of action of a-amylases has discussed the compositions of the residual oligosaccharides. The results of a study of the catalytic activity of poly(acrylic acid-styrenesulphonic acid) towards amylose in aqueous solution at low pH indicated that interactions between the carboxy-groups of the copolymer and the hydroxy-groups of the substrate make no contribution to the rate of reaction. ... 

This chapter will explore the characterization of several Amylopectin-biodegradable polymer blends using the IGC method. These blends are Amylopectin-Poly( -caprolactone) (PCL), Amylopectin-Poly(DL-lactide-Co-glycolide) (PLG), Amylopectin-Poly(3-hydroxy butyric acid) (PHBA), and Amylopectin-Poly (acrylic acid) (PAA). A series of molar mass of PAA will be...
