Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates composed of long chains of monosaccharide units linked by glycosidic bonds. They are broadly classified into storage polysaccharides and structural polysaccharides based on their biological function. Storage polysaccharides serve as energy reserves in living organisms. The major storage polysaccharides are starch in plants and glycogen in animals. Starch consists of two components: amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a linear polymer of α-D-glucose units joined by α(1→4) glycosidic bonds, forming a helical structure. Amylopectin is a branched polymer with α(1→4) linked glucose chains and α(1→6) branch points occurring at
