Starch is a complex carbohydrate consisting of numerous glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds, produced by most green plants for energy storage. It is the most common carbohydrate in human diets, found in large amounts in staple foods such as wheat, potatoes, maize, rice, and cassava. In addition to its nutritional value, starch is widely used in industry as a thickening agent, adhesive, and in the production of paper and bioplastics.
