Studies on Starches of High Amylose-Content. Part 14. The Fractionation of Amylomaize Starch by Aqueous Leaching

Amylomaize starch is known to contain an anomalous material which does not conform to the classical definitions of either amylose or amylopectin. A detailed study of this polysaccharide has not yet been carried out, principally because of the difficulty of obtaining it in sufficient quantity. This paper presents a rapid and simple method by which the isolation may be achieved.
