The first and only Disney song to top the Billboard Hot 100, A Whole New World is a near-perfect piece of pop magic from Alan Menken and Tim Rice.
The presence of amylopectin can be determined using the iodine test. Amylopectin is soluble in water, has great bonding capabilities, and participates in starch retrogradation. Starch retrogradation is the process of starch changing from a liquid solution to a gel.
Amylose is a polysaccharide made of Î±-D-glucose units, bonded to each other through Î± glycosidic bonds. It is one of the two components of starch, making up approximately 20-30%. The other component is amylopectin. Because of its tightly packed helical structure, amylose is more resistant to digestion than other starch molecules and is therefore an important form of resistant starch.
