Starch, 5 kg, plastic

Starch is supplied to meet the demands of controlled research workflows, specifically as a 5 kg plastic container of Starch (CAS: 65996-62-5). This polysaccharide consists of glucose units linked together in an amylose and amylopectin structure, resulting in a molecular formula of Cn(H2O)n and a molecular weight ranging between 10^5 and 10^6 g/mol. Starch serves as a primary energy reserve in plants, providing a structural role within their cells. It is commonly used in food production, particularly as a thickening agent, due to its ability to absorb water and swell upon heating. Additionally, starch has applications in biotechnology and industry, including use in adhesives, paper sizing, and textile manufacturing.
