Introduction: Polysaccharides are composed of monosaccharide sugars. These sugars are linked together by glycosidic bonds. Polysaccharides are of two types: branched and non-branched based on the linking of their monomers. There are different polysaccharide molecules present, for example, glycogen is a disaccharide molecule composed of long chains of glucose monomers. Cellulose is a polysaccharide of β-D- glucose. Cellulose is an unbranched polysaccharide molecule.
