K-RSTAR | Resistant Starch Assay Kit
The Resistant Starch Test kit for the measurement and analysis of resistant starch in plant materials and starch samples.
Description
Colourimetric method for the determination of Resistant Starch in cereal products and feeds
Principle:
(α-amylase + amyloglucosidase)
(1) Non-resistant starch + H2O → D-glucose + maltose (trace)
(2) Aqueous ethanol wash + centrifugation to remove D-glucose + maltose
(3) Dissolution of resistant starch pellet in KOH and neutralisation
(α-amylase + amyloglucosidase)
(4) Dissolved resistant starch + H2O → D-glucose
(glucose oxidase)
(5) D-Glucose + H2O + O2 → D-gluconate + H2O2
(peroxidase)
(6) 2H2O2 + p-hydroxybenzoic acid + 4-aminoantipyrine → quinoneimine + 4H2O
Kit size: 100 assays
Method: Spectrophotometric at 510 nm
Reaction time: ~ 120 min (plus overnight incubation)
Detection limit: 2-100% of sample weight
