4-Hydroxybenzhydrazide has been used:for determining the concentration of maltose from starch digestionfor analysis of sugars from fructan containing food hydrolysatein colorimetric assay for reducing sugar estimation from processed feedstuff
Biochem/physiol Actions
4-Hydroxybenzhydrazide (PAHBAH), is used for assaying ?-amylase and glucoamylase activities. The assay based on PAHBAH measures non-specifically the free reducing sugar groups present in samples at 415nm colorimetrically.
