The components of Amylon 70 starch were examined quantitatively. The Amylon 70 contained approximately 25% of amylose and 20% of amylomaize-specific amylopectin. The amount of the major component, with a lower molecular weight than that of amylose, was estimated to be almost 55%. Some properties of the low-molecular-weight material were consistent with those of the intermediate material from the other amylomaize starches described previously.
