Properties and Utilization of Common Polysaccharides in Food Chemistry
Polysaccharides are carbohydrates with more than 10 monosaccharide units, commonly found in foods like starch, cellulose, glycogen, hemicellulose, and pectic substances. Starch, a natural polymer of D-glucose, is a major energy source in the human diet, present in cereals, roots, and tubers. It cons

Understanding Polysaccharides: Structure and Function in Chemistry
Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made up of multiple monosaccharide units linked by glycosidic linkages. Examples include starch, cellulose, and glycogen. Starch, a major plant carbohydrate, consists of amylose and amylopectin. Amylose forms a linear structure, while amylopectin is highly b
