How large are the smallest dextrins that are left in the starch (not solubilised) when 80% v/v solution of ethanol is used to solubilise and remove sugars in the Total Starch Assay Kit (AA/AMG) (K-TSTA) procedure?

We believe that for starch fragments, oligosaccharides of a DP up to 10 would be soluble in 80% alcohol. The degree of solubility of other oligosaccharides would depend on the sugar type and linkage type.
