Abstract

1. The Q-enzyme from non-waxy maize-seeds (Country Gentleman×Wisconsin No. 690) has been found to produce an amylopectin with longer branching chain than that of amylopectin synthesized by the Q-enzyme of potato, corroborating the previous finding of the author.2. An attempt to obtain phytoglycogen by the action upon glycoamylose of the Q-enzyme of the maize-seeds has been found unsuccessful. It appears unlikely to regard glycoamylose as a direct precursor of phytoglycogen.
