Selected methods for starch content determination in plant materials
Anna Miernik | Tomasz Jakubowski
English. This manuscript presents selected analytical methods for starch content determination in plant materials. The presentation includes tools and equipment needed to apply a selected method and method accuracy in determinations of starch content and parameters. An overview of these methods may be useful while designing studies focused on starch content in materials of plant origin. The manuscript also discusses the effect of microwave radiation on selected parameters of starch granules. In addition, it presents results of an experiment aimed at determining the response of potato starch granules to microwave radiation. In that experiment, the size of potato granules was measured using an OPTICA B-510BF optical microscope and PROVIEW x64 software, 3.7.13483.20181206. The results obtained were analyzed at a significance level of α=0.05 using STATISTICA 13.3 software package.
