Detection of Starch in Food Samples

Starch determination is one of the analyzes generally performed on meat and meat products. Starch, which is used to obtain a drier texture in meat products, is an additive. In addition to adding starch as a filling material, it is also an effective substance in the formation of taste.

Starch can be obtained from vegetables and grains such as potatoes, rice, wheat, corn. The starch used in many food products is known by the code E 1420. One of the reasons why it is desired to be analyzed in food products and to keep the amount under control is that it can turn into sugar and trigger diabetes and weight problems.

At the same time, the presence of starch, which can be used for imitation and adulteration in foods, in a food that should not be, can be determined through analysis.
