Hey guys, got a question. not sure if it has been asked before but i cant seem to find any info on it. I know waximaize is the amylopectin part of corn starch and corn starch from the store is about 70% mylopectin and 30% amylose. My question is, wouldnt it be more economical to just buy corn starch for like 2 bucks a pound at the supermarket versus spending 50 bucks of 5 lbs of brand name waximaize?? i read that amylose digests slower than amylopectin, but are the two bonded together or something that makes the corn starch digest slower? i can deal with eating 30% more corn starch to get the same amylopectin if it doesnt matter. thanks
