Starch (CAS 9005-25-8)
QUICK LINKS
Starch is a polysaccharide that functions as a source of energy and a structural component in plant cells. Its primary role is to store glucose for later use by the plant. At the molecular level, starch molecules consist of long chains of glucose units linked together by alpha-1,4-glycosidic bonds, with occasional alpha-1,6-glycosidic bonds forming branch points. When starch is heated in the presence of water, the hydrogen bonds between the glucose chains break, allowing the chains to unravel and absorb water, resulting in the thickening effect. This property makes starch a useful component in the formulation of experimental solutions and suspensions, where a controlled increase in viscosity is required. Starch can also act as a stabilizer and texturizer in various experimental systems, contributing to the overall physical properties of the final product.
