Amphoteric a substance that exhibits both acidic and basic properties Amylopectin branched glucose polymer component of starch... 

One of the industrially available natural polymers for the manufacture of biodegradable plastics materials is starch. Starch is produced and stored by various types of plants. The differing properties of various starches result from their different proportions of amylose (linear starch chains) and amylopectin (branched starch chains). 

The commercial importance of amylolytic enzymes is rapidly increasing. These enzymes catalyze the hydrolytic reactions of amylose (unbranched starch) and amylopectin (branched starch). Amylases, according to their difference in modes of action, can be divided into ... 

Amylopectin branched every 30 or 50 units - linear a-1,4 chain of 30 glu residues then a-1,6 branch point. Of course get branches on branches as well. MW ->500,000. Broken down by -amylase (pancreas and salivary glands random cleavage of a-1,4 links) to give glucose and maltose or... 

Inclusion complexes inside the amylose helix and eventually short helices of amylopectin branches... 

The two-fold capability of the new starch to bind iodine in a single helical V-type regular conformer and the double helical regular folding similar to that of the amylopectin branches in native starch distinguish the new polymer as the starch per se.
