Please i am currently working on starch extraction from mango kernel. Literature search indicates metabisulphite as a core reagent for the process. Unfortunately, this regeant is currently unavailable in my lab. Can i use bisulphite instead of metabisulphite for the extraction process?
To my speculation, yes you can but if you use bisulfite, you will have a milder effects than metabisulfite. Bisulfite will give you less whitening effects than metabisulfite. Imagine that Sodium metabisulfite will give you two sulfite while bisulfite only gives you one, and yet monovalent. If your extraction using water, Meta bisufite will potentially gives you 2 bisulfite.
can you provide some steps to extract starch from ginger (polyphenols extracted from it)
