Starch, which is mainly composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, is a high molecular carbohydrate stored in plants. Starch is a high polymer of glucose, which can be divided into amylose and amylopectin according to its molecular structure. The content of amylose and amylopectin affects the eating quality and nutritional quality of plants. The starch-rich parts of different plants are different, mainly seeds, fruits, stems, and so on. Therefore, the determination of starch content is particularly important in all kinds of food processing.
What We Offer
| Category | ID | Name | Sample Requirement |

| Remarks | |||
| *Before sampling, it is necessary to set up the control group and the experimental group, and each group is suggested to repeat more than 3 times. *Quick-frozen preservation with liquid nitrogen can minimize the leakage time of plant samples at room temperature. *The experimental samples will not be returned, please back them up by yourself. *There is no restriction on plant varieties. For varieties with special requirements or rare varieties, please contact our staff for more information. |

*The testing project is constantly updated, please contact our staff by email for more up-to-date and relevant information.
After receiving the order, we will carry out your project as soon as possible and at the end of the project, we will provide a detailed technical report, including relevant experimental steps, relevant parameters of the experiment, original pictures, original data, and accurate and reliable experiment results.
We Do Better
Starch-rich crops form the basis of our nutrition. Starch from different plant sources varies in terms of their functional properties and end-use. Lifeasible not only provides the determination and analysis of starch content and components from various plant sources but also provides a complete set of solutions from extraction to data analysis to help you go further in plant starch research.
