Standardized Procedures and Protocols for Starch, 1st ed. 2024 Methods and Protocols in Food Science Series

This volumes provides protocols and methodology for understanding starch and its practical applications. Chapters guide readers through starch granule morphology, transmission electron microscope,amylose, amylopectin, chromatographic methods, X-rays by crystals,physical modification methods, and provides a comprehensive discussion of enzymatic modifications of starch. ritten in the format of the Methods and Protocols in Food Science  series, the chapters include an introduction to the respective topic, list necessary materials and reagents, detail well-established and validated methods for readilyreproducible laboratory protocols, and contain notes on how to avoid or solve typical problems.

 Authoritative and cutting-edge, Standardized Procedures and Protocols for Starch aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
