AACC 2021 online
This method uses the amylograph to estimate alpha-amylase activity (diastatic activity) in an aqueous suspension of flour as it gelatinizes during heating. The high viscosity of the starch gel is counteracted by the action of alpha-amylase, which liquefies starch granules as the slurry is heated. The amylograph value, or peak viscosity, also called malt index, is therefore inversely correlated with alpha-amylase activity. The method measures alpha-amylase that naturally occurs in flour or is added as malt; it does not respond to fungal alpha-amylase.
