Starch is a naturally occurring, abundantly available, and biodegradable polysaccharide. It is stored in the various parts of the plant such as roots, leaves, stems, tubers, fruits, and pollen grains. Corn starch is made up of 25% amylose and 75% amylopectin.
Application
Starch from corn has been used for the evaluation of amylose content in bananas for standard curve preparation. It has also been used in hydrolysis studies via in vitro fermentation using pig fecal inoculum.
