Starch hydrolysis was measured following the method described by Dura et al. [14] for gelatinized and non-gelatinized samples. To obtain gelatinized samples previous to starch hydrolysis, corn starch sample (0.1 g) was suspended in 2 mL of 0.1 M sodium maleate buffer (pH 6.9) and incubated 15 min at 100 ºC. Samples were then placed in water bath at 37 ºC. When temperature was reached, porcine pancreatic α-amylase (Type VI-B, ≥10 units/mg solid, Sigma Chemical, St. Louis, USA) 40 CU/g starch and 240 CU/g starch (CU, Ceralpha Units) was added for gelatinized and non-gelatinized samples, respectively.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
