What is amylose starch?
Amylose is a type of starch molecule, one of the two main components of starch alongside amylopectin. Starch is a complex carbohydrate found in plants and serves as a storage form of energy. Amylose is composed of long chains of glucose units linked together by alpha-1,4 glycosidic bonds. It has a linear structure, unlike amylopectin, which is branched. Amylose is often responsible for the gel-like properties of cooked starches, such as in rice or pasta, due to its ability to form tight helical structures when heated and then cooled.
What it used in industry ?
Amylose, as a component of starch, finds several uses in various industries:
- Prehrambena industrija: Amylose is commonly used as a thickener, stabilizator, and gelling agent in food products. It helps improve texture, moisture retention, and shelf life in items such as soups, sauces, gravies, puddings, and bakery products.
- Industrija papira: Škrob, including amylose, is used in papermaking as a surface sizing agent to improve the surface properties of paper, such as smoothness, ink receptivity, and strength.
- Textile Industry: Škrob, often derived from amylose-rich sources, is used in textile sizing to improve the strength and stiffness of yarns during weaving or knitting processes.
- Pharmaceutical Industry: Amylose can be used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations, acting as a binder or disintegrant in tablet manufacturing.
- Ljepila: Starch-based adhesives, containing amylose, are used in industries such as packaging, paper converting, and woodworking for bonding materials together.
- Biodegradable Plastics: Starch-based bioplastics, which may contain amylose, are being developed as alternatives to conventional plastics, offering biodegradability and environmental sustainability.
- Kemijska industrija: Starch-derived products, including amylose, serve as substrates for various chemical processes, such as fermentation for the production of ethanol or conversion into other chemicals and materials.
