Amyloses of uniform length were obtained by phosphorlytic synthesis (DP 20-35) and by preparative g.p.c. fractionation of an .alpha.-amylolytic digest of amylose on Bio-Gel P-4 (DP 3-20). Crystalline precipitates formed from pure aqueous solution on standing at ambient or lower temperatures gave the A-type X-ray pattern for malto-oligomers of DP 10-12 and the B-type pattern for DP 13 and all longer chains. With these carefully purified samples a mixture of the A- and B-amylose pattern was not observed. Malto-oligomers shorter than DP 10 did not crystallize. The findings support recent studies, indicating that the average chain length of amylopectin and the X-ray type of various starches are closely related. The reason for an influence of chain length on crystalline packing remains to be resolved.
