Soluble Starch 100g (Product Code: SCI-459/194) is an analytical reagent grade starch that disperses in hot water, used as the indicator in iodine titrations and as a substrate in enzyme experiments in school and college laboratories. Chemistry and biology teachers often share this 100 g pack between iodometric titrations and amylase practicals, and it is supplied with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.

Near the end point of an iodine–thiosulfate titration, a few drops of freshly made starch solution turn the flask deep blue-black while any iodine remains, and the colour vanishes sharply once the last iodine is reduced. That change is far easier to judge than the fading pale yellow of iodine alone, which is why starch is part of every iodometry titration kit a school or college puts together.
In biology, starch solution is the substrate for amylase or diastase. Students take drops of the reaction mixture at intervals and test them with iodine; the time until the blue-black colour stops appearing shows how quickly the enzyme works at different temperatures or pH values. Make the solution fresh for each session by stirring a cold-water paste into boiling water.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies Soluble Starch 100g under its ScienceLab trading name to schools, colleges and laboratories in India and international markets, and each pack is dispatched with its MSDS. Because starch serves both the titration bench and the enzyme bench, many institutions add it to a combined order with iodine reagents and glassware.

What grade and pack size is Soluble Starch 100g?
Soluble Starch 100g (SCI-459/194) is listed as analytical reagent grade in a 100 g pack and is supplied with an MSDS. It is intended for preparing starch indicator and substrate solutions in teaching and routine laboratory work.
How do I prepare starch indicator from Soluble Starch 100g?
To prepare indicator from Soluble Starch 100g, mix a small amount into a smooth paste with cold water, stir the paste into boiling water and let it cool. Make it fresh for each practical session, because the solution does not keep well.
When should starch be added in an iodine titration?
Add starch solution made from Soluble Starch 100g near the end point, once the iodine colour has faded to pale yellow. Adding it too early lets a lot of iodine bind to the starch, which makes the end point slow and less sharp.
What is the shelf life of Soluble Starch 100g?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so we do not quote a fixed period for Soluble Starch 100g. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the pack sealed and dry.
