Sigma-Aldrich Amylopectin from Maize is a high-purity, glucose-based polysaccharide widely used in biochemical research, food science, and material science applications. As a highly branched α-glucan polymer, amylopectin consists of α-1,4 glycosidic linkages with α-1,6 branch points, forming a complex starch structure.
This maize-derived amylopectin differs structurally from amylopectins from other plant sources and is particularly useful for starch metabolism studies, structural characterization, and food industry applications.
