In performing a starch extraction, would it be more efficient to perform it using water or using an enzyme.

25 January 2017 1 2K Report

From literature performing starch extraction with water can achieve about 90% starch whereas performing it with enzymes changes the starch into glucose.

Shiladitya Ghosh

If your aim is to extract the starch in its native polysaccharide form then you must go for water mediated extraction. Boiling the sample at moderate temperature (50-70) may result in the release of starch from it. Although the amount of extracted starch will significantly vary with the sample type and its morphological constitution.
