Automatisierte enzymatische Bestimmung von Glucose,Maltose und Stärke auf Mikrotiterplatten

Automated Enzymatic Determination of Glucose, Maltose and Starch on Microtiter Plates. An automated enzymatic method for the determination of sugars and starch is described. The elimination of inherent methodical errors in the optical measurement of microtiter plates and the evalution of 96 raw data is done with the “LBR1993” software. Analysis is based on a 10min hydrolysis by glucoamylase at room temperature and determination of glucose with the GOD-PAP-method. A recovery of greater 99% for maize and potato starch is possible if the starch is transformed at 100°C by α-amylase to α-dextrins and converted in a second step with 8.88 g glucoamylase/g substrate to glucose. Solubilization of potato starch in 1 N sodium hydroxide at room temperature gives a recovery of 93%. Heating (60°C) in 0.5 N sodium hydroxide (AFNOR-method) is not suitable for sugar analysis and certain kinds of starch.
