The follow experiment was prepared, conducted and analysed in order to test at which pH level starch will be digested at fastest. The digestive system is a complex network of organs as well as other structures which all work together to supply the body with the necessary nutrients and energy required. If problem occurs along the digestive tract the consequences can be fatal. Therefore it is extremely important to understand your body’s requirements and the way in which it functions, especially when engaging in one of the most crucial and rewarding activities; eating!
