The chain length distribution (CLD) of starch plays a crucial role in human health, affecting the digestibility of starch-containing foods and correlating with diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. By understanding and manipulating CLDs, it is possible to develop plant varieties that provide improved health properties in starch-based foods.
