Application

Amylose is a polysaccharide consisting of long chains of linked glucose molecules, serving multiple roles in various applications. It is primarily a component of starch, working in conjunction with amylopectin. Amylose is instrumental for identifying, differentiating, and characterizing amylases. Additionally, it functions as a thickening and gelling agent, and also stabilizes emulsions. Its properties enable its use in the creation of films and membranes with potential applications in drug delivery. Notably, when amylose is combined with water and iodine is added, it produces a distinctive blue color, highlighting its unique chemical behavior.
