A strong simulating effect of thiocyanate ions during the estimation of alpha-amylase by the amyloclastic method is shown. Thiocyanate ions themselves catalyse the decolorization of the starch-iodine complex. This may lead to wrong values during determination of alpha-amylase by this method. The rate of thiocyanate-iodine reaction depends upon the hydrogen ion concentration of the iodine reagent.
结果表明，在采用淀粉水解法测定α-淀粉酶时，硫氰酸根离子具有强烈的模拟效应。硫氰酸根离子本身会催化淀粉-碘复合物的褪色反应。这可能导致用该方法测定α-淀粉酶时得出错误的值。硫氰酸根离子与碘的反应速率取决于碘试剂的氢离子浓度。
