MCQ
The major component of starch is:
- ✓amylopectin
- Bwater
- Camylose
- Dglucose
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
amylopectin
(a) amylopectin
Explanation: Starch is a polymer of a-glucose and consists of two components - Amylose and Amylopectin. Amylose is water-soluble component which constitutes about 15-20% of starch. Amylopectin is insoluble in water and constitutes about 80-85% of starch. Thus, Amylopectin is the major component of starch.
