Bread comes in all shapes and sizes, running the gamut from preservative-packed fabrications to slabs of Einkorn ...

Carbohydrates are categorized based on their chemical structure and how the body digests them. Starches are complex carbohydrates composed of multiple units of glucose, or sugars, bonded together.

Carbohydrates can be simple or complex. Simple carbohydrates have a simple chemical structure. Your body doesn’t need much energy to break them down into glucose.

Slow, sustained glucose release could help stave off Type 2 diabetes and other health problems associated with elevated blood glucose levels. "Embedding molecules in the water pockets of starch is a ...

A new process that converts cellulose into starch could allow non-food plants to be a food source in impoverished regions.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of starch metabolism has direct implications for genetic engineering of plants for biofuels such as ethanol.

In terms of chemical structure, the fructose and glucose in high-fructose corn syrup are not bound together like in granulated table sugar (sucrose).
