Waxy maize is a complex carbohydrate that comes from waxy corn. This type of corn is superior to other types of corn due to its high content of amylopectin (99%). Amylopectin is a branched polysaccharide with a high molecular weight. The molecular weight of amylopectin is 100 times greater than other forms of carbohydrates. Amylopectin is a type of carbohydrate that digests slowly, but easily, in the body. Amylopectin is composed of long chains of monosaccharide that are united by glycosidic bonds. Due to the complexity of this structure, amylopectin takes time to be broken down into glucose by the body. This process, in turn, will provide the body with sustainable energy over a period of time in contrast to the fast energy jolt that the body gets when consuming simple sugars.
