Amylose-free starch = "waxy" mutation in maize, also done by GM (potato etc). 21 Mar 04 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.48.168.150 (talk) 
amylopectin is absorbed in digestion more rapidly than amylose. This tends to give amylopectin rich foods a higher glycemic index. Some amylose starches may be incompletely digested.
amylose and amylopectin starches have different thickening properties when used in cooking — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.250.34.161 (talk) 09:27, 10 March 2005‎

message: Is amylose actually water soluble? I've seen some papers that assume it is and in other palces it is stated as being insoluble.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ellis O'Neill (talk • contribs) 10:33, 3 June 2007‎
:Amylose can be rendered soluble by processing (e.g http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/104020505/abstract), but native, biological amylose with its helical structure and a high degree of H-bonding is fairly insoluble.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.105.20.57 (talk) 23:16, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Water soluble? 

message: Under Physical Properties this article states,
:Unlike amylopectin, amylose is soluble in water and forms a colloidal dispersion in warm water. [5]
Going to the linked amylopectin article, the second line states,
:[amylopectin] is soluble in water.[1][2]
So which is it?  Is amylose soluble in water and amylopectin is not, in which case the amylopectin article is wrong.  Or are both amylopectin and amylose soluble in water, in which case the amylose article is wrong.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.95.70.126 (talk) 20:03, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Similarly, the amylopectin article states that amylopectin is one of three components to starch, but the amylose says there are only two. Stifynsemons (talk) 01:11, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

starch polymorphs??  Which are seen as the "main" forms?  Which are merely variants of one or another of those main forms?  Can someone clarify?!
