Abstract excerpt
Phytoglycogen is a highly branched soluble α-glucan found in plants, particularly those with decreased activity of isoamylase-type starch debranching enzyme, such as sugary-1 (su-1) maize. An improved technique has been designed to extract and isolate phytoglycogen from the grain and leaves of su-1 maize with minimal degradation for structural characterisation. The structures of extracted phytoglycogen samples...
