Answer to Question 1

Starches that are high in amylose include wheat and corn starch. Sources that are high in amylopectin include waxy maize, tapioca, and potato starch.

Answer to Question 2

Amylose refers to a linear chain of alpha glucose molecules linked by alpha 1--4 glycosidic bonds. Amylose contributes to gelling characteristics of cooked and cooled starch. Amylopectin refers to a branched chain of alpha glucose molecules linked by both alpha 1--4 and alpha 1--6 glycosidic bonds. Amylopectin contributes to cohesion/thickening properties of cooked and cooled starch.
