Potentiometric titration for determination of amylose content of starch - A comparison with colorimetric method

► Using an auto-titrator, potentiometric titration proved to be a quick, precise, and robust method for amylose determination in starch. ► The determination limit for the current method was 3 mg of amylose. ► Colorimetric method seemed to overestimate amylose content in starch. ► Results for tested starches agree with previously reported literature values. ► It does not require the starch solution to be clear and colourless.
