Starch Solution

Triturate 0.5gm. of soluble starch with a little cold water into a thin paste and add 25ml. of boiling water.Boil until a clear solution is obtained (5-mins.). This solution should be freshly prepared as required. A more stable starch solution is obtained by adding 0.5gm. of potassium iodide and 2-3 drops of chloroform.
