Natural Rice Natural Gluntinous Rice Rich in amylopectin Low in amylose content Waxy and Sticky After cooking the rice made into ball can bounce Popular in South East Asia including India Glutinous differs from the regular (non-glutinous) rice mainly in having low (<5%) or almost no amylose in its starch but basically high in amylopectin. Amylose is essentially long linear chains composed of (1→4)-linked α-Dglucopyranosyl units with a few (1→6)-α-linkages branches whilst amylopectin has a higher molecular weight and much shorter chains of (1→4)-linked α-D-glucose units that are highly branched through additional (1→6)-α-linkages (Fig. 1). In general, the amylose content of rice starch varies from 0- 2% in waxy (glutinous), 20-25% in normal or medium and up to 30% in high-amylose rice grains.
