Starch Hydrolysis Test: Objective, Principle, Procedure, Results

Starch hydrolysis test is used to determine if the organism is capable of breaking down starch into maltose through the activity of the extra-cellular α-amylase enzyme. Starch, the most important source of carbohydrate for humans, is a polysaccharide mixture of two polymers, amylose, and amylopectin, the latter being predominant. Starch Hydrolysis Test Objectives To determine the ability of … Read more
