Amylose
Amylose is a linear α (1→4) -linked glucose polymer comprising ~20% of starch, known for its helical structure and characteristic blue iodine complex. It serves as a fundamental biochemical reagent for studying carbohydrate metabolism, starch digestibility in food science, and as a model for encapsulation studies in both in vitro and in vivo research.
