METHOD TO STARCH CONTENT DETERMINATION FROM PLANTS BY SPECIFIC WEIGHT

Abstract

In this work, the used methods (chemical and physical) to quantitative starch determination from plants were replaced with a simple, fast, exactly method, in which the starch percent was determined with the help of specific weight. Were analyzed four potato varieties (Hansa, Sieglinde, Nicola and Linda), from a German private sours. The potato crops were achieved in Schöngeising, Germany, at 25-30 km from Munich on an experimental ground with a 100 m2 area. In this purpose were used both the classical and biodynamical crop methods.
