Determination of starch by the amyloglucosidase method

A method of determining starch based on the use of amyloglucosidase is presented. In the method the sugars are extracted from the sample with 80 % ethanol, the starch is gelatinised by boiling with water for 10 minutes, after which it is hydrolysed into glucose by amyloglucosidase at pH 4.8 at 40°C...
