Abstract

A simple and quick method has been standardized for the determination of starch in banana pseudostem. The material is treated with aqueous sodium hydroxide in the cold to dissolve the starch, and the time of flow of a definite volume of the resultant solution through a capillary is determined and the starch content calculated by reference to a standard curve.
