Starch granules: structure and biosynthesis [PDF]

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 1998
The emphasis of this review is on starch structure and its biosynthesis. Improvements in understanding have been brought about during the last decade through the development of new physicochemical and biological techniques, leading to real scientific progress. All this literature needs to be kept inside the general literature about biopolymers, despite

The structure of hydroxyethyl starch [PDF]

British Journal of Pharmacology, 1973
Summary It is suggested that the structure currently used to describe hydroxyethyl starch (a blood plasma volume expander) is a gross oversimplification. A model having a much more complex substitution‐pattern is proposed, and an accurate, rapid test has been devised for distinguishing between the two models.

Structural heterogeneities in starch hydrogels [PDF]

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2020
Hydrogels have a complex, heterogeneous structure and organisation, making them promising candidates for advanced structural and cosmetics applications. Starch is an attractive material for producing hydrogels due to its low cost and biocompatibility, but the structural dynamics of polymer chains within starch hydrogels are not well understood ...
