ISI 40-1e Determination of Residual Juice in Potato Starch


1. Scope The method is applicable to native potato starch

 

 OJB 1960
Rev. LT 17.12.99
2. Principle Peroxidase in potato juice oxidises benzidin (as a hydrogen-donor) by means of hydrogen peroxyde as a hydrogen-acceptor. H2O2 + AH2 = 2H2O2 + A. A is colored
3. Apparatus 3.1 Test tube
4. Reagents 4.1 Diluted hydrogen peroxide, 0.3%. 1 ml 30% H2O2 is diluted to 100 ml with distilled water.
4.2 Benzidine solution, 0.5%. =.50 g benzidin (H2NC6H4-C6H4NH2) is dissolved in 5 ml concentrated acetic acid and diluted to 100 ml with distilled water
5. Procedure 2 g sample is transferred 10 a test tube (3.1) with 10 ml distilled water and 1 ml diluted hydrogen peroxide (4.1). Cork the tube and shake well. Add 1 ml benzidine solution and shake well.

Judgement

 Wait 3 min. and judge the relative amount of dark-blue stained particles.
6. Reporting Report the relative amount of particles with residual juice (stained particles) as per cent.
7. Notes The methods was in general use in the fifties. It lost importance with the introduction of newer and more efficient refining techniques. The method is difficult to carry out in an objective way.

ISI 01-1e Determination of Dry Matter in Starch by Oven Drying at 130 oC

Return 1. Scope The method is applicable to starch in native or modified form. LT 15 Dec. 1964 Rev.: LT 21 Nov. 1997 2. Principle The sample is dried to constant weight. 3. Apparatus 3.2 Dish of aluminium or glass with tight-fitting lid 3.3 Electrically heated constant-temperature oven. 3.4 Desiccator with dry drying agent 4. Procedure An empty dish (3.2) is dried 1/2 hour in oven (3.3) at 130  o C. Cool dish in desiccator (3.4) to room temperature and weigh on balance (3.1) to the nearest 1 mg. Weight = w 0   Let cool 40 min Distribute 5 g of sample in a uniform layer in dish. Close lid and weigh to the nearest 1 mg. Weight = w 1 Place the open dish with sample in oven preheated to 130  o C. Dry 90 minutes after oven has once again reached 130  o C. Close lid and cool in desiccator for 30 to 45 minutes. Weigh immediately after rem
