Abstract

The term “starch” is restricted here to mean the iodine-staining polysaccharide occuring in plants as cold-water-insoluble granules of characteristic shape. Little is yet known of the iodine-staining polysaccharides found dissolved in the cell sap of certain plants (Reichert 1913) but in the one case (sweet corn) which has received detailed examination, this soluble polysaccharide has many of the characteristics of the animal reserve polysaccharide glycogen (p.187ff.). Such soluble polysaccharides have often been termed “dextrins” on account of the similarity of their iodine stain to that of degraded starch. There is no definite evidence that they do originate from granular starch or that they are its precursors. Their infrequent and sporadic occurrence implies that they are abnormalities. Future research may possibly reveal that all these soluble “dextrins” are of the glycogen type.
