Starch

Starch is a carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds. It contains Approximately 75% amylopectin & 25% amylose. This polysaccharide is produced by all green plants as an energy store. It is the most common carbohydrate in the human diet and is contained in large amounts in such staple foods as potatoes, wheat, maize (corn), rice, and cassava.


Starch is used as an additive for food processing, food starches are typically used as thickeners and stabilizers. Starch is used to produce various bioplastics, synthetic polymers that are biodegradable. An example is polylactic acid. Glucose from starch can be further fermented to biofuel corn ethanol. Hydrogen production can use starch as the raw material.
