Dear Hossain,

you may wish to look at this paper:

https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/c72c/33958c6c0f549d7cf623b852564541060bf4.pdf

It contains a detailed protocol on how to quantify amylose and amylopectin separately in corn, rice or wheat.

Wishing you best of success,

Johannes

Mr. Johannes Haedrich, thanks a lot for your kind answer. I hope it will be helpful for me.

Tarek Gamal Abedelmaksoud Thank you very much

Peter A. M. Steeneken

I recommend the protocol by K. Brunt et al., Starch 50 (1998) 413-419, suitable for the determination of starch in a wide range of foodstuffs. This method is based on complete enzymatic hydrolysis of starch to glucose. The method has been validated in an interlaboratory study.

Unfortunately I have only an abstract available.

Peter A. M. Steeneken Thanks a lot.

Johan De meester

The Brunt paper will be very helpful for you !

I can send you the full paper now.
