Starch or amylum (CAS 9005-25-8, chemical formula (C6H10O5)n) is a polysaccharide carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units joined together by glycosidic bonds.
Starch is produced by all green plants as an energy store and is a major food source for humans.
Pure starch is a white, tasteless and odorless powder that is insoluble in cold water or alcohol. It consists of two types of molecules: the linear and helical amylose and the branched amylopectin.
Depending on the plant, starch generally contains 20 to 25% amylose and 75 to 80% amylopectin. Glycogen, the glucose store of animals, is a more branched version of amylopectin.
Starch can be used as a thickening, stiffening or gluing agent when dissolved in warm water, giving wheatpaste.
