<strong>and</strong> H2O. A particular property <strong>of</strong> starch glucans is their capability to “fill volume”<br />

in an adaptive <strong>and</strong> easy-to-modify way. Constituting modules are glucan<br />

molecules with pronounced variety-, species-, <strong>and</strong> history-specific interactive<br />

qualities for forming supermolecular structures. Therefore, a comprehensive<br />

characterization <strong>of</strong> starch glucans includes determination <strong>of</strong> molecular<br />

characteristics <strong>of</strong> the basic modules (individual glucan molecules) as well as<br />

specification <strong>of</strong> supermolecular characteristics. A feasible list <strong>of</strong> parameters from<br />

the molecular <strong>and</strong> supermolecular level as well as from the technological level is<br />

given in Table 8.<br />
