General description

Starch is a complex carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units. All plants contain starch, present as amylose, (linear α-1, 4 linked polymer) and amylopectin, (highly α1, 6 branched α-1, 4 polymer). Starch generally contains 0-25% amylose and 75–100% amylopectin.

Suitability

Suitable for the measurement of starch in a variety of samples

Principle

The Starch Assay Kit provides an easy, convenient method to measure starch levels in a variety of samples. In the assay, starch is hydrolyzed to glucose which is oxidized to generate color (at A570 nm) and fluorescence (ex = 535 nm/em = 587 nm). The assay can detect starch at 0.0004 to 2 mg/mL
