Starch is the major energy component within human diets, and the most abundant polymer that can be readily extracted from annual crop plants, leading to many actual and potential industrial applications. There are major opportunities to optimise the nutritional value of starches in the human diet, and to enhance the properties of extracted starches as renewable alternatives to petrochemical polymers. This project will open up our understanding of the structure of starch polymers and show how this relates to important properties such as enzyme digestibility rates, leading to new opportunities for public health and commercial benefits.

淀粉是人类饮食中的主要能量成分，并且是可以容易地从一年生作物中提取的最丰富的聚合物，导致许多实际和潜在的工业应用。在优化人类饮食中淀粉的营养价值，以及增强提取淀粉作为石化聚合物的可再生替代品的特性方面，存在着重大的机会。该项目将开启我们对淀粉聚合物结构的理解，并展示这与酶消化率等重要特性的关系，为公共卫生和商业利益带来新的机会。
