Starch-iodine assay method underestimates α-amylase inhibitory potential of antioxidative compounds and extracts

Starch-iodine assay method for the determination of α-amylase activity is also used in screening extracts for α-amylase inhibitors. However, there are indications that this method may not be appropriate for screening some classes of compounds or plant extracts. The present study investigated the lim...
