Surface Pores and Interior Channels of Starch Granules

Surface Pores and Interior Channels of Starch Granules 

Do double helical interactions between amylose and amylopectin chains occur within the granule  

Do the semi-amorphous growth shells have a local increase in amylose content (while respecting the general increase in amylose towards the granule surface)  

Does amylose disrupt the ordered packing of the amylopectin clusters (i.e. does it play a role in blocklet size)  

Are the amylopectin side chains capable of complexing lipids as it was shown in maize starches examined by DSC.163
