Amylomaize starch is known to contain an anomalous material which does not conform to the classical definitions of either amylose or amylopectin. A detailed study of this polysaccharide has not yet been carried out, principally because of the difficulty of obtaining it in sufficient quantity. This paper presents a rapid and simple method by which the isolation may be achieved.
