btained by multiplying these two. Five repeated measurements were performed for each sample and their average was taken.
3.2.5.3 FTIR- Spectroscopy
The IR spectra of starches were run as KBr pellets on FT-IR spectrometer at Central Instrumental Laboratory, Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology, Hisar, Haryana, India.
3.2.5.4 Microscopic examination of corn starch
Reagents
Iodine- Potassium iodide solution (I2-KI Sol): Dissolve 2 g of KI and 0.2 g iodine in 100 ml of water.
Starch was microscopically examined by the method of Johansen (1940).
Procedure
A small amount of starch was stained in iodine -potassium iodide solution for 10 min. Washed in water thoroughly and examined using a microscope. Staining of starch granules resulted …show more content…
Procedure
A suspension of starch (5 g, dwt) in 75 ml distilled water was agitated for 1 hour and centrifuged (3000 g) for 10 min. The free water was removed from the wet starch, which was then drained for 10 min. The wet starch was then weighed. Wt. of residual starch (g) x 100
Water binding capacity (%) = __________________________ Wt. of sample (g)
3.2.6.2 Oil absorption capacity (OAC)
OAC of the starches was determined using the method described by Yamazaki (1953), as modified by Medcalf and Gilles (1965).

Essay about Photosynthesis Formal Lab Report

Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine which pigments in a plant support or effect photosynthesis, based on starch production, which wavelengths of light are involved in photosynthesis, and identify plant pigments found in a plant leaf by means of paper chromatography. Life on Earth is dependent entirely on the energy from the Sun, not only to keep the planet at a suitable temperature but also to provide the energy required to sustain life. The energy of the Sun, in the form of…

Lab report Essay

Section 11 9/22/14 Lab Report: Searching for Starch The Purpose of this experiment is to find out if an unknown solution contains Starch. Using chemicals and observing color change will determine what the solution contains. The chemical that will be used in Iodine solution. When starch is present, Iodine solution reacts chemically with starch and changes in the way iodine molecules are able to reflect light. The original color of Iodine solution yellowish-brown, if starch is present the color…
