Soluble starch is a partially hydrolyzed (mostly by acid hydrolysis) starch, therefore it actually is a long-chain dextran.

Why wood not dissolve in water?

cellulose is not water soluble, starch is water soluble.


What converts insoluble starch to insoluble sugar?

Firstly what the end products of the starch converting to glucose are soluble. Starch is converted to alpha glucose monomers by the addition of water to the glycosidic bonds which join the glucose molecules together. This addition of water is a hydrolysis reaction and seperates the glucose molocules form the starch polymer. The enzyme amalayse is responsible for catalysing the break down of starch into SOLUBLE glucose molecules (monomers).


Is starch dissolve in water and why?

Starch consist of two types of natural polymers.NamelyAmylopectinAmyloseAmylopectin is water soluble but Amylose is water insoluble.this is reason why starch don't dissolve in water


Which converts insoluble starch into soluble sugar?

Insoluble starch is converted into soluble sugar primarily by the action of enzymes such as amylase. Amylase breaks down starch molecules into simpler sugars like maltose and glucose through a process called hydrolysis. This enzymatic conversion occurs in various biological systems, including human saliva and the digestive system, as well as in industrial processes.


What are the degradation products of enzymatic hydrolysis of starch?

The degradation products of enzymatic hydrolysis of starch are primarily glucose molecules. Starch is broken down by enzymes such as amylase into its constituent glucose units through the cleavage of glycosidic bonds. These glucose molecules can then be further metabolized for energy in the body.
