$110 per analysis
Acceptable Matrices:
This method is applicable for determining the level of starch in grains, finished cereals, and other food products where the starch is available for aqueous enzymatic digestion.
Unacceptable Matrices:
Cheese or other matrices that do not dissolve in aqueous solution, therefore causing the starch to be unavailable to the enzymes for digestion.
This test may not apply to some cross-linked, modified starches.
