Starch in wheat materials can be determined by chemical, polarimetric, or enzymatic methods. The present work compares the results obtained on a series of wheats and their milling fractions when different analytical methods were used. All methods agree fairly well on high-starch materials. However, with high- fiber fractions, polarimetry gives low values and mixed enzymes give high apparent starch values. Only enzyme methods specific for starch are recommended for analysis of high-fiber wheat products.
