Non-glutinous rice starch - Non-glutinous rice starch

...In contrast, the glutinous rice used to make mochi and sekihan is white and opaque when polished. Rice starch is made up of amylose, which is a chain of glucose molecules arranged in a single row, and amylopectin, which is a branched structure of glucose molecules. Non-glutinous rice starch is about 20% amylose and about 80% amylopectin, while glutinous rice starch is almost entirely amylopectin, and this is the major difference between the two. Some glutinous rice is translucent when polished, making it difficult to distinguish from non-glutinous rice, but when stained with an iodine-potassium iodide solution, non-glutinous rice turns indigo blue and glutinous rice turns reddish brown, making it easy to distinguish between the two.
