An instrument used to measure the amount or concentration of starch in a sample.
From amylo- (starch) + -meter (measuring device); a scientific instrument name following Greek naming conventions.
An amylometer lets food scientists and brewers precisely measure starch content—brewers especially care about this because yeast ferments starch into alcohol, so knowing starch concentration is key to making consistent beer.
