"They tend to be amorphous, insoluble in water, and dont have no sweet taste." What should that be?
[edit] What is "ballshydrolysis"?
The only hits on Google for it are for this article and sundry reproductions. Flatus 19:33, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for checking that out, no such thing exists.--Lbthrice 20:44, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Starch and Embryonic Growth
Does it make sense to mention that maize, wheat, etc. are good sources of starch for a biological reason: energy is packaged in starch molecules for later use by the developing embryo after germination?--Lbthrice 19:49, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Disaccharides
Somewhat unclear with defintions. So monosaccharide is a chain with one element and polysaccharide is a chain (of monosaccharide) with more than one (or more than two???) element. I.e. are disaccharides polysaccharides?
