Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Starch granules consist of two types of polymeric components, essentially linear amylose and branched amylopectin. Ratios and fine structure of these two polymers determine the starch functional properties and starch applications in food and non-food industries. Amylose fine structure can be characterized by two features, molecular size and structure of branching. Amylopectin consists of numerous short chains, with a chain length of ~6-35 glucosidic units, of α-(1, 4)-linked D-glucose residues, which are interlinked to form clusters defined as groups of chains through their reducing end side by α-(1, 6)-linkages, and the macromolecule of amylopectin exhibits a heavily branched structure built from about 95% (1-4)-α-and 5% (1-6)-α-linkages. Chain length profile and cluster model of amylopectin can provide a useful conceptual basis for understanding the structure of the amylopectin and guide current thinking related to amylopectin biosynthesis and physical behavior. This chapter reviews the structural characteristics of amylose and amylopectin.
