	Starch
		Starch is the major carbohydrate reserve in plant tubers and seed endosperm where it is found as granules [330], each typically containing several million amylopectin molecules accompanied by a much larger number of smaller amylose molecules.
		A significant proportion of starch in the normal diet escapes degradation in the stomach and small intestine and is labeled 'resistant starch' (for a recent review see [991]), but this portion is difficult to measure and depends on a number of factors including the form of starch and the method of cooking prior to consumption.
		Starch with structure intermediate between the more crystalline resistant starch (for example, RS in staled bread) and more amorphous rapidly digestible starch (for example, in boiled potato) is slowly digestible starch [293] (for example, in boiled millet).

	Starch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Starch (in particular cornstarch) is used in cooking for thickening sauces.
		When starch is used dietetically it is normally cooked or prepared with ingredients such as lemon, tomato, vinegar, hot pepper, onion or garlic to change its characteristic 'starchiness.' An example of this would be the use of ketchup or vinegar in the presentation of french fries or chips.
		Clothing starch or laundry starch is a liquid that is prepared by mixing a vegetable starch in water (earlier preparations also had to be boiled), and is used in the laundering of clothes.

		Starch found within leaves and other green parts of plants is assimilated and transformed with great rapidity; accumulations of it are carried as starchformers, and redeposited as starch in special reservoirs or portions of plants as the period of maturity approaches.
		In its other industrial relations starch is used: (1) directly, as a thickening material in calico printing, for the dressing and finishing of many textiles, for laundry purposes, adhesive paste, and powder; and (2) indirectly, for the preparation of dextrin and British gum and starch sugar.
		Under one method the separation of maize starch is facilitated by steeping, swelling and softening the grain in a weak solution of caustic soda, and favorable results are also obtained by a process in which the pulp from the crushing mill is treated with water acidulated with sulphurous acid.

		Starch is used in papermaking from the wet end to the size press.
		Native corn starch is the major size-press additive used in the U.S. Poor performance on the size-press may be caused by retrogradation - a kind of crystallisation of linear parts of the starch (amylose).

		Starch is stored in underground plant organs such as roots (cassava), tubers (arrowroot, potatoes) or corms, as well as in above-ground fruits and seeds.
		Two large plant groups which contain high concentrations of starch in their seeds are cereals (amaranth, barley, buckwheat, corn, millet, oats, rice, rye, sorghum, wheat) and legumes (a great variety of beans, peas, lentils).
		Starch is used by plants to store energy and is digested when the need for energy arises, e.g., when a seed germinates.

		My information is based on cereal starches; I don't know what the effects of heating on starch from other sources would be, but they may be much the same.
		If starch granules are heated dry, they can maintain their morphology more-or-less unchanged, even at surprisingly high temperatures, until they are eventually pyrolysed (chemically decomposed).
		If starch is heated in water it gelatinises ("melts") and loses its morphology - but the extent to which this happens depends on the moisture content.
