Abstract:

Based on the significance of amylose content to the quality of grain as well as the processing and utilization of starch, systematic and comprehensive studying of the methodology for the content determinination in amylose is necessary. This article systematically introduces standard methods, commonly used methods and newly emerging methods reported in recent years. This may provide useful references for the choice of an appropriate method for the determination of amylose content according to the actual requirements.

Key words: amylose content, determination method, standard method
