Talk:Amylopectin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Could someone make an illustration? Something like the ones here, but that we could use? —Vivacissamamente 15:45, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

This article is incorrect: amylopectin is water soluble

[edit] Iodine test

Iodine solution turns "starch" blue-black. Amylopectin is a constituent of starch. However, I saw an explanation of the mechanism which said that the iodide ions "fit into" the coils of amylose. My question is: would a pure sample of amylopectin turn blue-black on mixing with iodine solution, or is it just the amylose in a sample of starch that responds to the test? Matt 13:08, 13 August 2007 (UTC) how can starch consist of c6h10,0(xygen)5, and of amylose(5o,5h) and amylopectin(no c´s etc..)?felix —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.163.236.89 (talk) 10:06, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
