The estimation of the amylose content of starches has been studied by precipitating the amylopectin with concanavalin‐A and then, after denaturing the remaining concanvalin‐A by heat, determining the unprecipitated glucan in the supernatant by (a) hydrolysis with amyloglucosidase: α‐amylase followed by glucose oxidase‐peroxidase reagent, (b) colorimetrically with phenol‐sulphuric acid or (c) by colour with iodine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
