Product Description

  • Maize starch granules are semi-crystalline, discrete structures composed primarily of amylose and amylopectin, two glucose polymers. They are formed during starch biosynthesis in maize kernels and exhibit diverse shapes and sizes depending on the maize type and internal structure. These granules are known for their characteristic birefringence when viewed under a microscope, and they are a key component in various food and industrial applications. Structure:
    The granules are semi-crystalline, with alternating amorphous and crystalline lamellae, and exhibit growth rings. Internal Structure:
    The internal structure is not uniform, with variations in amylose and amylopectin distribution from the hilum (center) to the periphery.
