Name of Parameter: Amylose content of grain
Working Principle: The iodine is adsorbed within the helical coils of amylose to produce a blue coloured complex which is measured spectrophotometrically. After protocol standardization with amylose, it was simplified that amylose % = absorbance at 620nm X 75.
Application/Scope: Estimation of grain amylose content
Sample Requirement: 1.00 g finely powdered grain (100 mesh)
Charges: For Brown rice-Rs. 1270.00 Milled rice- Rs.1490.00 par sample
