A Simplified Starch Determination for Raw Sugars
نویسندگان
چکیده
The conventional starch determination (employing precipitation, filtration, re-dissolution, colour development) is compared with a simplified direct colorimetric procedure, which is readily automated. The reproducibility is better than 3%, with a correlation coefficient of 0,87 between the two methods.

A Basic Method for the Analysis of Starch in Clear Juice
The analysis of starch in factory streams and products is tedious and time consuming. It is not surprising, therefore, that only one South African sugar mill laboratory currently analyses the factory streams for seasonal starch levels and trends. This essentially means that high starch levels are picked up only in the final raw sugar, causing an uncomfortable delay between detection and applica...
متن کاملHydrolysis of raw tuber starches by amylase of Aspergillus niger AM07 isolated from the soil
Eight Aspergillus niger strains which produced strong starch degrading amylase were isolated from the soil using a medium containing Remazol Brilliant Blue (RBB) starch as substrate. Amylase production was detected by the disappearance of the blue colour around the colony. Among the isolates, A. niger AM07 produced the largest clear zone (7.0mm) on Remazol Brilliant Blue (RBB) agar plate and al...

ACAC), and fatty acid synthetase (FAS) were studied in male Wistar rats after a period of starvation and refeeding of diets containing 400 g glucose, or raw or cooked starches as the source of carbohydrate/kg. Starches fed included maize, potato, wheat, rice, and tapioca. 2. When compared to the responses of rats given the glucose-containing diet, rats given raw maize-or rice-starch-containing ...
متن کاملManufacturing-Processing PRELIMINARY PILOT PLANT STUDIES OF THE PRODUCTION OF RAW SUGAR FROM SORGHUM
Preliminary pilot plant experiments have been made in order to evaluate " a process for removing starch, a principal deterrent to the commercial usage of sweet sorghums (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench) as a supplementary sugar crop. Defecation of the dilute raw juice at low temperature and at a pH of 7.7-7.9 with the addition of a flocculant resulted in an 89% removal of starch. A similar defecatio...
متن کاملA method for the determination of small quantities of mixed reducing sugars and its application to the estimation of the products of hydrolysis of starch by taka-diastase.
PRELIMINARY investigations on the carbohydrates in the developing apple have shown that the concentration of sugars in the fruit is less than 1 % during the first weeks of growth, and further, that the maximum starch concentration reached at any time is only about 2 %. Estimation of these carbohydrates by the usual methods would require the collection of a very large number of apples, especiall...
