Malto-oligosaccharides, structurally diverse glucose polymers comprising 2-10 monosaccharide units, play vital roles in food science, pharmaceuticals, and glycobiology. However, their precise structural characterization remains challenging due to sub...
Amylose, a vital polysaccharide component of starch, plays a significant role in plant energy storage and has important implications in nutrition and health. In this study, the structural characteristics of amylose are analyzed using Sombor indices, ...
Starch is a fundamental carbohydrate with nutritional and physicochemical properties governed by relative proportions of amylose and amylopectin. Variations in amylose-to-amylopectin ratio significantly influence starch digestibility, texture, glycem...
