VI. Solutions<br />

1. Amylase-5% w/v: Weigh 2.5 g amylase and add around 5 mL distilled water. Let it stand until is<br />

completely hydrated. Make up to volume 50mL with distilled water and agitate thoroughly.<br />

2. Potassium ferricyanide-1%: Dissolve 1 g potassium ferricyanide <strong>in</strong> water and dilute to 100 mL.<br />

Prepare fresh daily.<br />

3. Oxidiz<strong>in</strong>g reagent: Mix 4.0 mL 1% potassium ferricyanide solution with sufficient 15% sodium<br />

hydroxide (w/v) solution to make 100 mL. Use this reagent with<strong>in</strong> 4 h after preparation.<br />

4. Sodium acetate-2.5M:Dissolve 205 g <strong>of</strong> sodium acetate anhydrous <strong>in</strong> distilled water and dilute to 1 L.<br />

5. Sodium hydroxide-15% (w/v): Weigh 15 g sodium hydroxide and dissolve <strong>in</strong> distilled water. Cool<br />

the solution down and br<strong>in</strong>g to 100 mL.<br />

6. Sulfuric acid-0.1M: (H 2<br />
