minimum amount of chloroform:methanol needed to remove the sample
from the tube. Stand these upright in labeled 100 ml beakers. Dry at 55oC
overnight.

extraction, weigh out 0.5-1.0 g samples in duplicate into the same beakers mentioned above. These must not differ by more than 20 mg. (The closer your sample weights are, the better your results will be.) Add 50 ml
of phosphate buffer to each beaker.
5. Add 0.1 ml of Termamyl solution to each beaker.
6. Cover beaker with aluminum foil and place in a boiling water bath. Weight the beakers down with metal washers or watchglasses, if necessary. Heat for 30 minutes.
7. Remove beakers from water bath. Adjust pH to 7.5 by adding 10 ml of 0.275 N NaOH solution.
8. Add 0.1 ml of Protease solution to each beaker.

g residue = (dry spl. + filter paper wt.) - dry filter paper wt.
% CP = (mls - mls blank) x F value x 100 x 6.25
g residue in sample
% Ash = (Cruc. + ash wt.) - dry cruc. wt. x 100
g residue in sample

Procedure:
1. Grind samples to 0.5mm. Weigh samples and standard in duplicate into 50 ml screw cap test tubes. Start a reagent blank here.
Sample g/tube
Feed with starch 200 - 300 mg
Duodenal/ileal 600 - 700 mg
Fecal 1000 mg
Forage 1000 mg
Corn Starch Standard 200 mg
2. Add 20 ml of 0.15 N sodium acetate buffer to each tube. Vortex.
3. Place in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes. Vortex tubes once during boiling.
Note: It is critical that the sample goes into suspension. Increase the boil time if needed.
Glass beads may be added to the tubes to help suspend samples.
4. Vortex tubes again. Cap the tubes lightly.
Autoclave for 1 hour between 121oC and 135oC.
Note: Increase the autoclave time as you decrease the temperature from 135oC to 121oC.
5. Let tubes cool to room temperature. Add 0.1 ml of amyloglucosidase solution to
each tube. Vortex gently.
Starch Detr., pg.2
6. Incubate tubes for 24 hours at 55oC. Vortex tubes frequently.
7. Transfer samples to 100 ml volumetric flasks. Bring up to volume with dd water.
8. Centrifuge an aliquot for 10 minutes at 10,000 - 15,000 x g.
9. Save the supernate. Dilute an aliquot of each 30 fold.
Note: If the colorimetric portion of this assay does not work, you can used your saved supernate to rerun the assay from step 10.
9. Prepare glucose standards.
0.12 mg/ml = 4 ml working std + 1 ml dd water
0.09 mg/ml = 3 ml working std + 2 ml dd water
0.06 mg/ml = 2 ml working std + 3 ml dd water
0.03 mg/ml = 1 ml working std + 4 ml dd water
Water Blank = dd water
10. In duplicate, pipet 0.5 ml of glucose standards, water blank, reagent blank, starch standard, and samples into 13 x 100 mm disposable flint glass test tubes.
11. Add 5 ml enzyme/color reagent to each tube. Vortex.
12. Let stand 45 minutes in the dark. Vortex.
13. Read absorbance on a spectrophotometer at 450 nm. Zero the spec. with the water blank.
Calculations:
Corrected Spl. Abs. = (Spl. Abs.) - (Reag. Blk. Abs.)
Determine the glucose concentration of the samples and starch standard using the corrected absorbance against the glucose standard curve.
Total mg glucose in sample = mg glucose from std. curve X DF X 30
% Starch = (Total mg glucose X 0.9) X 100
Spl. wt. mg (DMB)
The starch standard is used to verify that all the starch has been hydrolyzed and measured as glucose. You should get nearly 100% recovery. If you do not, rerun the entire assay.

Note: You need the total starch value from the Thivend Starch Determination assay in order to calculate the resistant starch fraction.

Pipet off supernate into a 25 ml volumetric flask. Label volumetric flasks as DS
samples.
10. Wash pellet with 1.5 ml of sodium acetate buffer.
11. Centrifuge at 3,000 x g for 10 minutes. Pipet off supernate into the same 25 ml
volumetric flask.
12. Wash pellet with 1.5 ml of sodium acetate buffer.
13. Centrifuge at 3,000 x g for 10 minutes. Pipet off supernate into the same 25 ml
volumetric flask.
14. Wash pellet with 1.5 ml of sodium acetate buffer.
15. Centrifuge at 3,000 x g for 10 minutes. Pipet off supernate into the same 25 ml
volumetric flask. Bring up to volume with dd water. Dilute an aliquot of each 50
fold. Set aside for glucose analysis.
Note: The FG samples will probably run without further dilution.
Note: If the colorimetric portion of this assay does not work, you can used your saved supernate to rerun the assay from step 17.
16. Prepare glucose standards.
0.12 mg/ml = 4 ml working std + 1 ml dd water
0.09 mg/ml = 3 ml working std + 2 ml dd water
0.06 mg/ml = 2 ml working std + 3 ml dd water
0.03 mg/ml = 1 ml working std + 4 ml dd water
Water Blank = dd water
17. In duplicate, pipet 0.5 ml of glucose standards, water blank, reagent blank, and all set aside samples into 13 x 100 mm disposable flint glass test tubes.
18. Add 5 ml enzyme/color reagent to each tube. Vortex.
19. Let stand 45 minutes in the dark. Vortex.
20. Read absorbance on a spectrophotometer at 450 nm. Zero the spec. with the water blank.

Calculations:
Corrected Spl. Abs. = (Spl. Abs.) - (Reag. Blk. Abs.)
Determine the glucose concentration of the samples and starch standard using the corrected absorbance against the glucose standard curve.
Total mg glucose in sample = mg glucose from std. curve X DFs
% FG = Total mg glucose X 100
Spl. wt. mg (DMB)
% DS = Total mg glucose X 100 - Ave % FG for sample X 0.9
Spl. wt. mg (DMB)
% RS = % Total Starch - % DS - (% FG X 0.9) |
