Abstract
Starch, the major food reserve polysaccharide of plants, is a widely studied biomolecule
of great diversity and utility. Occurring in the form of tiny and discrete granules of varying shape, size,
physicochemical and digestibility characteristics, starch possesses tremendous industrial potential. The
granule characteristics, morphological features and non-carbohydrate constituents of starch as well as the
future lines of work are presented in this review article.
