Type: Concept
As of November 2026, amylose has been mentioned in 2 episodes across 1 podcast, first heard Nov 2025 on Stuff You Should Know.
Amylose is a polysaccharide made of α-D-glucose units, bonded to each other through α(1→4) glycosidic bonds. Together with amylopectin, it is one of the two components of starch, making up approximately 20–25% of it. Because of its tightly packed helical structure, amylose is more resistant to digestion than other starch molecules and is therefore an important form of resistant starch.
