Starch itself is present as a storage polysaccharide in most plants, however, only a few plants can be used in practice to manufacture starch, or, more precisely, to obtain it. Tubers and seeds are technologically interesting; in fact, there is a fundamental difference between the two starch types – tuber starch and starch extracted from seeds. Starch stored in tubers (such as potatoes) are found in environments with a predominance of water, which is why the grains are large, polydisperse, and allow water to enter and exit through sort of coiled molecular network. Starch in seeds (corn, wheat), on the other hand, is stored in the opposite end of the plant, where water content does not exceed 20%. This starch is usually monodisperse, fine, and it is very difficult for water to enter the grain.
Primary crops that provide starch are corn, potatoes, and wheat.
Starches differ depending on their chemical composition, primarily the different proportions of amylose macromolecules (linear chain structure) and amylopectin (branched chain).
