Determining the type of starch
Protocol information
| Substances of interest | Starch |
|---|---|
| Type of food | blancmange |
| Method of examination | Histochemical Detection |
According to this method are examined various samples of different types of starches
and powders containing starch (puddings etc.). Using microscopic method we can prove
the presence of starch, but also on the basis characteristic morphology we can determine
the origin of the starch in the sample.
This procedure is appropriate for dry, powdered materials - starches, puddings etc.
