Starch granules are the storage form of carbohydrates in plants, primarily found in seeds, roots, and tubers. They are discrete intracellular bodies composed of amylose and amylopectin, two different types of glucose polymers. The relative proportion and arrangement of these polymers, along with the presence of proteins and lipids, determine the physical and chemical properties of starch granules, leading to distinct types.
Different plant species, and even different parts of the same plant, can produce starch granules with unique
The structure of starch granules also influences their behavior during processing and digestion. For instance, the
