Microscopic examination (2.8.23) using a 50 per cent V\/V solution of glycerol R. It presents a majority of large elliptical granules, 25-45 \u03bcm in size, sometimes irregular, or reniform. It also presents a minority of small rounded granules, 5-8 \u03bcm in size (Figure 2403.-1). Granules can present cracks or irregularities. Sometimes, granules show barely visible concentric striations. Exceptionally, granules show a slit along the main axis. Between orthogonally oriented polarising plates or prisms, the granules show a distinct black cross.<\/p>\n<p>B. Suspend 1 g in 50 mL of water R, boil for 1 min and cool. A thin, cloudy mucilage is formed.<\/p>\n<p>C. To 1 mL of the mucilage obtained in identification test B, add 0.05 mL of iodine solution R1. A dark blue colour is produced, which disappears on heating.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-26178\" src=\"https:\/\/nhathuocngocanh.com\/bp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pea-Starch-300x163.jpg\" alt=\"Pea Starch\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nhathuocngocanh.com\/bp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pea-Starch-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nhathuocngocanh.com\/bp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pea-Starch-1024x555.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nhathuocngocanh.com\/bp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pea-Starch-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nhathuocngocanh.com\/bp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pea-Starch.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Figure 2403.-1. &#8211; Illustration for identification test A of pea starch<\/p>\n<h2>TESTS<\/h2>\n<h3>pH (2.2.3)<\/h3>\n<p>5.0 to 8.0.<\/p>\n<p>Shake 5.0 g with 25.0 mL of carbon dioxide-free water R for 60 s.
