Starch is an element present in all photosynthetic plants. We generally find starch in the plant’s roots and seeds. All plants when they synthesize glucose, the extra glucose is stored in the form of starch.
Starch is a glucan, meaning it only consists of glucose molecules all linked together. The general molecular formula for starch is ( C6H10O5)n. The ‘n’ denotes the number of molecules linked together.
We find starch in the seeds of plants as granules. On heating these granules in the water we form a colloidal suspension. We obtain two components from this process. These two components are Amylose and Amylopectin.
