β¦ Synopsis
Starch and total carbohydrate are determined by using a flow-injection system comprised of an immobilized glucoamylase reactor followed by pulsed amperometric detection of the glucose produced. Glucoamylase, immobilized onto porous silica and packed into a short stainless steel column, is capable of nearly quantitative (98% ) conversion of the starch to glucose. The sensitivity of pulsed amperometric detection for soluble starch is increased 26-fold by first passing the starch through the immobilized glucoamylase reactor. This system is successfully used to determine total carbohydrate in beer samples. The method is simple, rapid and sensitive for starch.
