On Amylose and Amylopectin of Glutinous Rice Starch

Journal of the agricultural chemical society of Japan, 1951
(1) Various procedures for the fractionation of glutinous, non-glutinous and sen rice starch have been studied. It is here shown that special caution is necessary for the fractionation of glutinous-rice starch. (2) The intensity of the coloration of starch fraction with iodine (iodine-coloration degree or coloration degree) was used as the indication ...

Potential of the small-granule starch mutation for the Bioethanol Industry. [PDF]

, 2012
The industrial starch market is undergoing major expansion, but certain specific industrial uses cannot be satisfied by native starches and, therefore, chemical or physical modification is necessary.
