Abstract
Starch, a natural glucan polymer, exhibits a complex hierarchical structure. Acquiring a comprehensive understanding of the self-assembly of glucan polymers in starch granules has been of significant interest for many decades, due not only to their structural complexity but also to their dietary importance and widespread applicability in the food and nonfood sectors.
