some of the starches arranged into long strands of glucose molecules called amylose, which can fold into helices. Inside the pen, iodine and iodide ions come together to form a triiodide complex.

Starch is a complex carbohydrate that has different proportions of two polysaccharides: amylose and amylopectin. Different starches – such as potato, corn or cassava – have their own ratio of ...
