The Physical and Chemical Analysis of Carbohydrate Content in Acorn Kernel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Carbohydrates are the main source which required to maintain energy equilibrium and normal life activities. In acorn kernel, soluble polysaccharides and starch are the main carbohydrate. In order to accurately measure the carbohydrate content of the acorn kernel in Nanjing Area. Dual-wavelength spectrophotometry and anthrone-sulfuric methods were applied to measure the content of amylose, amylopeetin and soluble polysaccharides,respectively.The other two samples were simultaneously measured for comparative analysis.Testing results show that acorn kernel contain about 79.40% of starch, amylopectin content was up to 59.01%, polysaccharide content is 6.53%.The results indicate that acorn kernel was an important raw material for preparing food, feed and starch-based composites.
