Starch is a carbohydrate. The 3 major dietary carbohydrates are sugar, fiber, and starch. Some of the most common sugars, also known as simple sugars, include glucose, fructose, sucrose, and lactose.Are also selling on guidechem.
Fiber is made from the sugar, glucose. We do not have enzymes that can break down fiber so we cannot directly access the glucose. But, the plethora of health benefits that fiber provides makes it absolutely necessary that we include it in our diets. That brings us to starch. Specifically, starch is a polymer of glucose. A polymer is a substance made up of repeating units of the same thing. So starch is just a bunch of glucose molecules linked together. Basically, it is just an organized way for plants to store and access the energy in glucose. Animals, such as us, store glucose in a similar way except we call it glycogen. We store glycogen in muscle and liver cells. When our muscle cells need glucose they break down stored glycogen to yield free glucose that they use for energy. When our blood sugar levels get low our liver can break down glycogen and release free glucose molecules into the blood to help raise blood sugar levels. |
