Общее описание

α-1,4-glucan with α-1,6-cross-linking; one terminal group per 25 glucose units

Сельскохозяйственное использование

Amylopectin is a polysaccharide consisting of various proportions of two glucose units joined by 1-4 linkages. The positions are where the two glucose units are linked to form the corresponding polymer. Amylose and amylopectin are examples of this polysaccharide. Amylopectin is less soluble in water and gives red or purple color with iodine.
