Summary: Lamellar single crystals of V‐amylose have been prepared from dilute solutions in the presence of various complexing agents (isopropanol, thymol, linalool, terpineol, α‐naphthol and quinoline). They were characterized by means of electron microscopy imaging and electron crystallography. Crystals of the Visopropanol‐type were more frequently obtained even with complexing molecules with different sizes and chemical structures. α‐naphthol and quinoline formed crystals involving 8‐fold amylose helices. Flower‐like “pseudo‐spherocrystals” of lamellar units were observed when the crystallization was carried out at higher amylose concentration.
