A process for producing a starch comprises treating a feed starch that
comprises amylopectin with glucanotransferase to produce a chain-extended
starch, and treating the chain-extended starch with a debranching enzyme
to produce a starch product that comprises amylose fragments. At least
about 38% by weight of the amylose fragments have a degree of
polymerization (DP) of at least about 35.
