Megazyme-K-TSTA-100A

Megazyme Total Starch Assay Kit (AA/AMG), 100 assays

SKU: K-TSTA-100A

The Total Starch (AA/AMG) test kit is used for the measurement and analysis of total starch in cereal flours and food products.  This kit now contains an improved α-amylase that allows the amylase incubations to be performed at pH 5.0 (as well as pH 7.0).

 

Colourimetric method for the determination of Total Starch in
cereal products, feeds, foodstuffs and other materials

Principle:
(α-amylase, 100°C ± DMSO)
(1) Starch granules + H2O → maltodextrins

(amyloglucosidase)
(2) Maltodextrins + H2O → D-glucose

(glucose oxidase)
(3) D-Glucose + H2O + O2 → D-gluconate + H2O2

(peroxidase)
(4) 2H2O2 + p-hydroxybenzoic acid + 4-aminoantipyrine →
quinoneimine + 4H2O
