Title: FOOD CHEMISTRY
Post by: AMZ101 on August 16, 2017, 11:18:02 AM
Hey guys just wondering if anyone could help with constructing an experiment that helps me to compare the rates of hydrolysis of pure amylose and amylopectin and also goods, substances, materials which contain varying forms of these starches. I believe the iodine solution test would help to detect levels of amylose on these starches but I'm having trouble with detecting the levels of amylopectin

Thanks so much for your help but my school wont be able to provide me with most of the materials listed in the experiment shown, they said try finding a simpler method but I dont even think there is one. Do you have any other experiments you could link?
