Weight-based chain-length distributions determined by gel permeation chromatography with refractive index detection and their calculated number-based chain-length distributions of Konahomare (KH) and Konamizuki (KM) amylopectins (Kitahara et al. 2014). The solid line indicates the distribution of weight-based chain lengths, and the dotted line indicates the distribution of number-based chain lengths. Vertical dotted lines indicate the division of the distribution into unit-chain fractions of the cluster structure of amylopectin. Commercial pullulan standards (closed circle) with known DPs were used for the column system.
