Biology 08/26/2013 “Windows On Research”: The Effects of Enzyme Complex On Performance‚ Intestinal Health‚ and Nutrient Digestibility of Weaned Pigs” The research completed (August 2013)‚ evaluates the effects of inserting an enzyme complex (amylase‚ protease‚ xylanase) on the performance‚ intestinal‚ and nutrient digestion of weaned pigs. Experiment one had 108 piglets (28 days weaning) feeding on 0‚ 100‚ or 150 ppm enzyme complex. 6 pigs‚ at the end‚ from control and supplemented feeds were

are called pyrogens‚ which can come from inside the body or outside the body. 3. Salivary amylase and pancreatic amylase are released by two accessory organs of the digestive system. In what structures do the enzymes actually chemically digest food? * 4. Based on the information you have learned about the digestive system‚ describe the optimal pH for the action of pancreatic amylase. Do classroom experimental results seem to support this finding? Why might there be

Identification of unknown a-Amylase through testing different temperatures and pH values to detect the absorbance of maltose. Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ mainly proteins for this experiment‚ generated by an organism to speed up chemical reactions. They have active sites on which the substrate is attached‚ and then broken up or joined. For this experiment we are going to work with the enzyme a-amylase. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar. Amylase is present in human

4A.4.2.2 Process Optimization: The process was optimized for two variables which can make difference in the particle size and further in the stability of emulsion.The process parameters varied were time of stirring and speed of stirring .The results are depicted in Table 4A.11 Process variables: Time of stirring: The batches were stirred for different time periods of 30‚ 45 and 60 minutes‚ keeping using magnetic stirrer. Speed of stirring: The speed of stirring was maintained at400‚ 600 and

Abstract Over a two week period of time in the laboratory‚ we experimented and tested the reaction rate of a peroxidase enzyme and the factors that affected it‚ both positively and negatively. The purpose of these experiments was to probe and manipulate the activity of the enzyme peroxidase by varying temperature‚ pH‚ the amount of enzyme compared to the substrate and the effect of hydroxylamine. Peroxidase activity is expressed when the potato extract is subjected to stresses such as low temperature

enzyme‚ in this case amylase. Hypothesis: In this investigation I expect as the pH reaches the optimum level‚ the rate of reaction will be fastest‚ compared to other pH levels. It is also suspected that after the enzyme has reached optimum level the enzyme activity will decrease. Through further study of the optimum level of amylase I found that the enzyme usually has an optima pH of 8. It is known that the pH of an enzymes environment will affect its activity rate. Discussion: In order to identify

The main focus of this experiment was to find the relationship between temperature and the enzyme activity of amylase. This was achieved by attaining amylase enzyme‚ starch solution and potassium iodide (determines if enzymes hydrolyses the starch solution)‚ water bath and a hot plate. The temperatures used for this experiment were room temperature‚ 37oC‚ 60oC‚ 80oC‚ and 90oC. The hypothesis developed was that as the temperature increased‚ so will enzyme activity. Therefore‚ the ability of the

Enzymes are biological molecules (proteins) that act as a catalyst and help complex reactions occur everywhere in life‚ for example a piece of steak that is being digested into energy. Molecules found at the beginning of the process are called substrates‚ and these enzymes exchange them into differing molecules known as products. Nearly all-metabolic processes in a cell need enzymes in order to function at rates that are fast enough to sustain existence. Those who are lactose intolerant are simply
