Starch constitutes the primary manner in which of carbohydrates are stored in the plants. It is chiefly found in seeds and underground organs and sparingly in other morphological parts such as leaf and bark parts. The green parts of plants exposed to sunlight contain small granules of transitional starch due to the process of photosynthesis. During the hours of darkness these are removed to the storage organs. Starch occurs in the form of granules (starch grains) the shape and size of which are characteristic of the species as is also the ratio of the content of the principal constituent’s amylose and amylopectin. The chapter highlights the extent to which the qualitative and quantitative properties of starch can be used as a means of identification for medicinal plants and the delineation of plant species. The chapter will also document the relative quantitative features of starch grains from different morphological parts and botanical sources.
