Encyclopedia > Amylopectine

Amylopectin is a highly branched polymer of glucose found in plants. It is one of the two components of starch, the other being amylose.


Glucose units are linked in a linear way with α(1→4) bonds. Branching takes place with α(1→6) bonds occurring each 24 to 30 glucose units.


Its counterpart in animals is glycogen which has the same composition and structure except for branching that occurs each 8 to 12 glucose units.

Cereal Chem 1997 | Amylopectin Staling of Cooked Milled Rices and Properties of Amylopectin and Amylose. (320 words)
Amylopectin Staling of Cooked Milled Rices and Properties of Amylopectin and Amylose.
Starches of waxy rices that showed varietal differences in hardness testing of cooked rice after amylopectin staling and high-amylose content (AC) rices differing in gel consistency (GC) and starch gelatinization temperature (GT) were studied to determine the factors related to varietal differences in amylopectin staling of cooked rice.
Isoamylase-debranched amylopectins of waxy rices differed in the ratio of weight-average degree of polymerization (DP(w)) fractions, but these fraction ratios were not simply related to differences in amylopectin staling of cooked rice.
