Yes, is a polysaccharide composed by a mixture of glucans, such as, alpha-amylose and amylopectin. Alpha-amylose is a linear polymer composed by several thousand glucose residues linked by alpha(1-4) glycosidic bonds. Amylopectin is ramification chain composed by up to 106 glucose residues mainly by alpha(1-4)-linked but branched with alpha(1-6) branch points every 24 to 30 glucose residues on average.
