ABSTRACT
Starch is a polymer of glucose produced by the plants as their principal food reserve: polysaccharide. Starch is stored in seeds such as cereals and millets, and tubers such as tapioca (cassava) and potato. Starch is a major source of carbohydrates for human and animal diets. Starches, or their liquefied products, are found in almost every processed food. In the U.S.A, fructose syrups are the primary sweeteners.
