    Return the dextrose equivalent of starch given the degree of polymerization.

    Parameters
    ----------
    n : int
        Degree of polymerization.

    Returns
    -------
    DE : float
        Dextrose equivalent.

    Notes
    -----
    The dextrose equivalent (DE) is a measure of the amount of reducing sugars 
    present in a sugar product, expressed as a percentage on a dry basis 
    relative to dextrose. For polymerized glucose (i.e. dissacharides, 
    oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides), the dextrose equivalent is given 
    by the following formula:
        
    .. math::
        DE = 100% \frac{180}{180n - 18(n - 1)}
        
    This formula (and this function) is not valid for sugars with linkages other 
    than 1-4 and 1-6 glycosidic linkages.
