CAS 9037-22-3: Amylopectin
Description:Amylopectin is a highly branched polysaccharide and a major component of starch, which is a key energy storage molecule in plants. It is composed of glucose units linked primarily by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds, with branching occurring through α-1,6 glycosidic bonds approximately every 24 to 30 glucose units. This structure gives amylopectin a tree-like appearance, contributing to its solubility and digestibility compared to its counterpart, amylose, which is largely linear. Amylopectin is typically found in granules within plant tissues and plays a crucial role in the energy metabolism of plants and animals. It is insoluble in cold water but can gelatinize when heated in water, making it useful in various food applications as a thickening agent. Additionally, amylopectin's branched structure allows for rapid enzymatic breakdown, providing a quick source of glucose when needed. Its CAS number, 9037-22-3, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts.
