National food safety standard - Determination of starch in
foods
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the methods for the determination of starch in food.
Method I and method II of this Standard apply to the determination of starch in food
(except meat products); method III applies to the determination of starch in meat
products. This Standard does not apply to the determination of starch in foods with
added substances that produce reducing sugars upon hydrolysis (except maltodextrin
and soluble sugars).
Method I: Enzymatic hydrolysis method
2 Principle
After the fat and soluble sugars are removed from the sample, the starch is hydrolyzed
into glucose by amylase and hydrochloric acid in sequence. Determine the glucose
content and convert it into the starch content in the sample.
3 Reagents and materials
Unless otherwise stated, the reagents used in this method are of analytical regent, and
the water is Grade 3 water specified in GB/T 6682.
3.1 Reagents
3.1.1 Iodine (I2).
3.1.2 Potassium iodide (KI).
3.1.3 α-amylase: EC 3.2.1.1, enzyme activity ≥ 1.6 U/mg.
3.1.4 Absolute ethanol (C2H5OH) or 95 % ethanol.
3.1.5 Petroleum ether: the boiling range is 60 ℃ ~ 90 ℃.
3.1.6 Diethyl ether (C4H10O).
3.1.7 Toluene (C7H8).
containing maltodextrin, first wash it with 100 mL of ethanol solution (85 %, volume
fraction), and then wash it with ethanol solution (40 %, volume fraction) until the
microsugar test result is negative. Drain the ethanol solution, transfer the residue into a
250 mL beaker, wash the filter paper with 50 mL of water, put the washing liquid into
the beaker, place the beaker in a boiling water bath and heat until complete
gelatinization, which usually takes 15 minutes, let it cool to below 60 ℃, add 20 mL of
amylase solution, incubate at 55 ℃ ~ 60 ℃ for 1 hour, and stir frequently. Then take 1
drop of this solution and add 1 drop of iodine solution, there shall be no blue color. If it
appears blue, reheat to gelatinize and add 20 mL of amylase solution, and continue to
incubate until it no longer appears blue after adding the iodine solution. Heat to boiling,
cool down and transfer to a 250 mL volumetric flask, wash the beaker with an
appropriate amount of water, transfer to the volumetric flask, add water to the mark,
mix well, filter, and discard the primary filtrate.
Take 50.00 mL of the filtrate, place it in a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask, add 5 mL of
hydrochloric acid (1 + 1); install a reflux condenser, reflux in a boiling water bath for 1
hour; cool down and add 2 drops of methyl red indicator solution, use sodium hydroxide
solution (200 g/L) to neutralize to neutrality; transfer the solution into a 100 mL
volumetric flask, wash the Erlenmeyer flask, merge the washing liquid into the 100 mL
volumetric flask, add water to the mark, mix well for later use.
5.2 Microsugar test method
Take 2 mL of the washing liquid in a small test tube, add 4 drops of α-naphthol ethanol
solution (10 g/L), and slowly add 1 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid along the tube wall.
If a purple ring appears at the interface between water and acid, it is judged as positive;
if a yellow-green ring appears at the interface of water and acid, it is judged as negative.
NOTE: Since the washing liquid contains ethanol and water, when adding concentrated sulfuric acid,
it needs to add it slowly along the wall of the test tube and ensure that the mouth of the test tube
does not face anyone.
5.3 Determination
5.3.1 Calibration of alkaline copper tartrate solution
Pipette 5.00 mL of alkaline copper tartrate solution A and 5.00 mL of alkaline copper
tartrate solution B, place them in a 150 mL Erlenmeyer flask; add 10 mL of water, add
2 glass beads, drop about 9 mL of glucose standard solution from the burette; control it
to heat to boil within 2 minutes, keep the solution in a boiling state, continue to add
glucose at a rate of 1 drop every 2 seconds, until the blue color of the solution just fades,
which it taken as the end point; record the total volume of glucose standard solution
consumed. Operate 3 copies in parallel at the same time, and take their average value.
Calculate the mass m1 (mg) of glucose, which is equivalent to the alkaline copper
tartrate solution (half of solution A and half of solution B) used for calibration,
according to formula (1).
NOTE: It can also calibrate 4 mL ~ 20 mL of alkaline copper tartrate solution (half of solution A
and half of solution B) according to the above method to adapt to the concentration changes of
reducing sugars in the sample. The volume of alkaline copper tartrate solution used for the
determination of the sample solution is the same as the volume of alkaline copper tartrate solution
used for calibration.
5.3.2 Prediction of sample solution
Pipette 5.00 mL of alkaline copper tartrate solution A and 5.00 mL of alkaline copper
tartrate solution B, place them in a 150 mL Erlenmeyer flask; add 10 mL of water, add
2 glass beads; control it to heat to boil within 2 minutes, keep boiling and add the sample
solution dropwise from the burette at a fast speed first and then a slow speed, and
maintain the solution in a boiling state. When the color of the solution becomes lighter,
titrate at a rate of 1 drop per 2 seconds until the blue color of the solution just fades,
which it taken as the end point. Record the consumed volume of the sample solution.
When the glucose concentration in the sample solution is too high, it shall be
appropriately diluted before formal determination, so that the volume of the sample
solution consumed in each titration is controlled to be similar to the volume of the
glucose standard solution consumed when calibrating the alkaline copper tartrate
solution, about 10 mL.
5.3.3 Determination of sample solution
Pipette 5.00 mL of alkaline copper tartrate solution A and 5.00 mL of alkaline copper
tartrate solution B, place them in a 150 mL Erlenmeyer flask; add 10 mL of water, add
2 glass beads, and drop the sample solution that is 1 mL less than the predicted volume
from the burette into the Erlenmeyer flask; heat it to boil within 2 minutes, maintain the
boiling state and continue to titrate at a rate of 1 drop per 2 seconds until the blue color
just fades, which is taken as the end point. Record the consumed volume of the sample
solution. Operate 3 copies in parallel with the same method, and get the average
consumed volume. Calculate the results according to formula (2).
When the concentration of the sample solution is too low and it cannot be titrated to the
end point with 25.00 mL, directly add 10.00 mL of sample solution without adding 10
mL of water, and then use the glucose standard solution to titrate to the end point.
Calculate the mass of glucose contained in 10 mL of the sample solution, which is
equivalent to the difference between the volume consumed and the volume of the
glucose standard solution consumed during calibration. Calculate the results according
to formula (3) and formula (4).
5.3.4 Determination of reagent blank
At the same time, measure 20.00 mL of water and the same amount of amylase solution
as when processing the sample solution, and carry out a reagent blank test according to
the back titration method. That is, use the glucose standard solution to titrate the reagent
blank solution to the end point, and record the mass of glucose contained in 10 mL of
Method II: Acid hydrolysis method
