Application

4-Hydroxybenzhydrazide has been used:
  • for determining the concentration of maltose from starch digestion
  • for analysis of sugars from fructan containing food hydrolysate
  • in colorimetric assay for reducing sugar estimation from processed feedstuff

Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Hydroxybenzhydrazide (PAHBAH), is used for assaying α-amylase and glucoamylase activities. The assay based on PAHBAH measures non-specifically the free reducing sugar groups present in samples at 415nm colorimetrically.

Starch-containing food normally has complex components and structure, which control its digestion kinetic properties and nutritional value. However, interactions among multiple food components and their effects on starch digestion kinetics are rarely reported. Here, we evaluated the influence of tea
