    back into translucent and remaining solution was blue which is translucent. 4 10 ml solution B 1 ml saliva 95 The blue coloured solution remains unchanged. The blue coloured solution remains unchanged as well. Discussion : In the experiment‚ the enzyme amylase was involved. Amylase breaking down the starch suspension into maltose and maltose into glucose when HCL was added into solution B .This is because solution B was hydrolyzed and the H+ ions present break down the bond in between molecules

    Group Members: Johnny Nguyen‚ Therese Pham‚ Linda Tang Name of Enzyme You are Investigating: Amylase Brief Background: Amylase is a digestive enzyme‚ produced mainly by the salivary glands and the pancreas‚ to break down starch in food into smaller carbohydrate molecules and disaccharides such as maltose. It can be found in humans and some other mammals. Some plants and bacteria may also produce amylase. After being broken down into smaller carbohydrate molecules‚ it can be converted into a monosaccharide

    10. Tubes 2‚ 6‚ and 7 showed the effect of pH on amylase activity. The results of this experiment indicate that the activity maximum of amylase is at pH 7.0‚ whereas pH 2.0 and pH 9.0 demonstrated very little activity. In this experiment‚ pH 7.0 showed the highest level of amylase activity. Tube 3 showed that amylase did not contain maltose contamination. Tubes 3‚ 4‚ and 5 showed that water had no starch or maltose contamination. Tube 3 directly showed that water did not have maltose or starch contamination

    SBI3U1 November 6th‚ 2014 Spit and Armpit Lab Partners: Kara Washer and Josh Young Abstract This lab shows the use of salivary amylase with strong and weak starch mixtures to break down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars. This lab was conducted to physically see the breakdown of carbohydrates into simpler sugars (glucose‚ fructose‚ galactose) using the salivary amylase enzyme. This is extremely important to all metabolic functions in the human digestive system. It is found that benedict’s solution

    malt and fungal alpha-amylase. Amylase is used to break down starch and produce small dextrins for the yeast to act - which is needed to make bread rise. (Hayes and Laudan‚ 2009) Enzymes also help obtain an even crumb structure‚ dough improvement‚ and result in a higher loaf volume (Mapsenzymes). Bread making companies from around the world chooses to use enzymes ultimately to speed up production time - which is crucial to any business. The use of maltogenic alpha-amylases improve shelf-life of
