DESCRIPTION
Starch, a polysaccharide composed of glucose monomers, serves as a primary energy source in human diets and plays a critical role in metabolic processes. Its significance spans energy production, glycemic regulation, and health implications tied to modern dietary patterns. Starch is composed of amylose (linear glucose chains) which is digested slowly and causing 30-60% less glucose and insulin spikes and amylopectin (branched chains) which allows rapid release of glucose. AkrivisBio’s Starch Assay is a simple, sensitive way to measure starch in a variety of samples with a sensitivity below 1 µg/ml.
