Indirect method for the determination of starch through reducing Sugars in Plants

摘要

The present Invention refers to a method of indirect determination of Starch, reducing Sugars and total Sugars using Four major phases: 1. Preparation of the sample. 2.Extraction of interferents. 3. Acid hydrolysis. 4. Spectrophotometric Quantification of reducing Sugars.The method is characterized by being easy to implement in any Laboratory, does not destroy The Glucose present in the STARCHAnd yields reliable values of the Starch content in various Food matrices.
