3. Measure the absorbance at 510 nm against a reagent<br />

4. Calculate the content of non-resistant (solubilised)<br />

4) Calculate resistant starch, non-resistant starch<br />

Calculate resistant starch, non-resistant (solubilised) starch<br />

total starch content (%, on a dry weight basis) in test samples as follows:<br />

a) Resistant starch (g/ 100g sample)<br />

(Samples containing > 10% RS):<br />

= ∆E × F × 100/0.1 × 1/1000 × 100/W × 162/180<br />

= ∆E × F/W × 90.<br />

= ∆E × F × 100/0.1 × 1/1000 × 100/W × 162/180<br />

= ∆E × F/W × 90.<br />

= Resistant starch + Non-resistant starch.<br />

b) Non-Resistant starch (g/ 100g sample)<br />

(Samples containing > 10% RS):<br />

c) Total starch content<br />

Where:<br />

∆E = absorbance (reaction) read against the sample analyzed reagent blank.<br />

F = conversion from absorbance to micrograms (the absorbance obtained for
