Method for Determination of Iodine Visibility
A.1 Principle
Straight-chain starch molecules react with iodine to form a blue complex, while branched-chain starch reacts with iodine to produce a purple-to-red complex. Samples with higher degrees of gelatinization allow a portion of smaller straight-chain starch molecules to escape the starch granule and enter the solution. The more straight-chain starch enters the solution, the more iodine it absorbs, resulting in a deeper blue color in the solution. 그러므로, the degree of gelatinization of potato flakes can be determined by the iodine visibility.
A.2 Instruments
Analytical balance.
UV-visible spectrophotometer.
Thermostatic oscillator.
Centrifuge.
A.3 Reagents
A.3.1 Preparation of 0.05 mol/L Potassium Iodide Solution: Prepared according to the method specified in GB/T 601.
A.3.2 Preparation of pH 5.8 Phosphate Buffer Solution:
a) Weigh 13.60g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and dissolve it in distilled water, makeup to 1000 mL.
b) Weigh 16.42g of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate and dissolve it in distilled water, making up to 1000 mL.
c) Take 50 mL of solution a), add 4.5 mL of solution b), mix, and dilute to 100 mL with distilled water.
A.4 Experimental Procedure
A.4.1 Accurately weigh 2.0000g of potato flakes into a 150 mL conical flask, add 20.0 mL of distilled water, mix well, place in a thermostatic oscillator at 50°C ± 1°C, oscillate for 30 minutes, transfer to a centrifuge tube, and centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes.
A.4.2 Take 1.00 mL of the supernatant, place it in a 50 mL volumetric flask, add 5 mL of pH 5.8 phosphate buffer solution and 1.00 mL of 0.05 mol/L potassium iodide solution, dilute to volume with distilled water, and mix well.
A.4.3 Prepare a blank solution by using 1 mL of distilled water instead of the supernatant.
A.4.4 Using a spectrophotometer, adjust the zero point with the blank solution at a wavelength of 570 nm in a 1 cm cuvette, and measure the absorbance value (A) of the sample.
A.5 Calculation
Calculate the iodine visibility (I) according to the formula (A.1).
Where:
I = 2 × A
I — iodine visibility (g/L)
A — absorbance value of the sample
2 — Dilution factor
The calculation results should be accurate to two decimal places, and the difference between two measurements of the same sample should not exceed 0.05.
