%X Tobacco leaf starch has been isolated as granules by mechanical extraction, and the viscosity, amylose content, f3-amylolysis limit, starch-iodine complex absorption spectrum, and apparent chain length compared with samples extracted by perchloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and chloral solution and purified as the starch-iodine complex. The efficiency of extraction of these methods was also compared. The same comparisons were made with potato granules and potato granules treated with these extracting reagents.
