Determination of Starch in beer and wort
In the mashing phase starch is converted in fermentable sugars by specific enzymes (amylase) present in the malt. A control of the real conversion can be made measuring the residual starch in wort, so that you can continue with the remaining operations.
With CDR BeerLab® systems it is possible to obtain reliable results on starch immediately, carrying out the analysis during the mashing phase, directly in brewery.
Method
Test Principle
Starch reacts with a solution of stabilized iodine, producing a violet coloring, measurable at 620 nm in end point.
Calibration Curve
Calibration curve obtained with samples of known values.
