Fragment of the structure of acetylated distarch adipate; acetyl group is marked in red, adipyl group derived from adipic acid is marked in blue.
<p>This drawing indicates all structural features of acetylated distarch adipate (acetyl group, adipyl group, α-<small>D</small>-glucopyranose monomers connected by 1,4-glycosidic and 1,6-glycosidic bonds). However, in actual molecules the ratio of acetyl or adipyl group to glucose monomers is about 1 to a few hundred.
</p>
The acetyl group and the adipyl group in this drawing are in random (one of many possible) positions.
