General description

Carbohydrate
Starch is generally composed of two molecule types: amylose and amylopectin. Starch and modified starches are important excipients. They act as fillers/binders.

Application

Starch has been used:
  • as a component in modified Columbia agar (MCA) to culture and isolate bacterial colonies[1]
  • in validation studies for determining molar substitution of hydroxyethylstarches (HES) by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy[2]
  • as a substrate in anaerobic batch experiments to study the effect of carbohydrates on protein hydrolysis[3]

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  3. What is the molecular weight and solubility of the product Starch 1.01252?

    1 answer
    1. The molecular weight of this product is not determined. It is described as a soluble starch, meaning that it is soluble in hot water. Note that the description of being a soluble starch is based on the method of preparation for the product; there is no specification for solubility:
      https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/specification-sheet/SPEC/MDA/CHEM/1.01252/1012520100

      The recommendation is to follow the method of preparing a 2 percent solution as found in the book Reagent Chemicals, published by the American Chemical Society:
      Prepare a paste of 2.0 g of the sample with a little cold water and add to it with stirring 100 mL of boiling water. The solution should be no more than opalescent, and on cooling it should remain liquid and not increase in opalescence.
