Modified methods for determining alpha-amylase activity of wheat and rye grain or flour based on the Wohlgemuth principle are described. These can be carried out comparatively rapidly and give values in SKB units. The end-point is determined by using either a permanent color standard or by taking colorimetric readings at fixed time intervals.
