Figure 1: Fingerprints of elasticity of linear polysaccharides obtained by AFM. Figure 2: AFM force spectra obtained on amylose (A, B) and methylcellulose (C, D). Figure 3: Force spectra obtained ...

Starch is a complex carbohydrate that has different proportions of two polysaccharides: amylose and amylopectin. Different starches – such as potato, corn or cassava – have their own ratio of ...
