Abstract
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solubilization of starch from lyophilized potato tissue is equally quantitative and more convenient than solubilization in dilute alkali, especially when analysis of a large number of samples is necessary. Starch extraction with DMSO decreases the handling time of each sample by eliminating sonication, filtration, and centrifugation steps required by the NaOH solubilization technique.
