the rate in which Amylase breaks down starch into maltose. In this reaction starch is the substrate and maltose is the product. Amylase is an enzyme‚ Enzymes‚ also called catalysts‚ are in living things and there are thousand of them. Enzymes break down food by the active site on the Enzyme forming a chemical bond with a substrate and then water attacks the substrate until it is hydrolysed (split in 2). Equipment: Boiling tubes Timers/ stopwatch Starch Solution of Amylase colourless

Determining the Ksp of Calcium Hydroxide by Titration of Saturated Ca(OH)2(aq) with HCl(aq) Abstract: Titration is a technique that has been used in this experiment to identify the Ksp value of calcium hydroxide in order to determine the extent to which the compound is soluble in water. A known volume of 50 mL of hydrochloric acid‚ a concentration of 0.05 M hydrochloric acid‚ a volume of 50 mL calcium hydroxide base‚ an unknown concentration

Moreover‚ the main purpose of this study‚ is to make plastic that can be decomposed easily since it uses raw materials‚ to use starch instead of chemicals and to utilize some of the solid wastes in our society. BACKGROUND OF STUDY Plastic is a versatile and potentially indestructible material‚ which makes it ideal for a number of commercial and

Starch can be hydrolyzed into simpler carbohydrates by acids‚ various enzymes‚ or a combination of the two. The resulting fragments are known as dextrins. The extent of conversion is typically quantified by dextrose equivalent (DE)‚ which is roughly the fraction of the glycosidic bonds in starch that have been broken. These starch sugars are by far the most common starch based food ingredient and are used as sweetener in many drinks and foods. They include: Maltodextrin‚ a lightly hydrolyzed (DE

1. Gather all the equipments needed. 2. Measure 50ml of HCL in a 250 ml measuring cylinder and pour it into a flask‚ then measure 50ml of HCL again and pour it into the second flask. 3. Measure the 50ml of KOH in a measuring cylinder. Repeat it again in another measuring cylinder. 4. Attach both of the burette clamps to both of the burette stands and clamp the burette at a certain level so that it can fit a flask underneath. 5. Then‚ place a funnel on top of each burette. 6. Place a flask underneath

reaction rate of an enzyme‚ ’-amylase in starch-iodine solution. We will be testing the relationship between enzymatic reaction affected by temperature and pH. Through the testing the enzyme at different temperatures‚ and different pH levels; it would determine at which temperature and pH level the enzyme worked the most efficiently. Analyzing absorbance of the solutions with spectrophotometery will determine the reaction rate. To test the optimal pH‚ the starch and a buffer were combined at a specific

Tiltle: What was happened to the bananas? Objective: To compare the amount of reducing sugars and starch in yellow and green bananas. Introduction: Bananas are green in colour and taste flat but after they are harvested and stored for some days‚ they will turn yellow from green and become sweet. Hypothesis: The green banana tasted plain because it contained large amount of starch‚ while the yellow banana tasted sweet since it contained large amount of reducing sugars. Biological principles:

Iodine is a test for starch while Benedict’s solution is a test for reducing sugars. When solution A is tested by benidicts test‚ the clear blue solution changed to a little reddish and brick red precipitate is formed.this result show that solution A is a reducing sugar. When carried out iodine test with solution A‚ the colourless solution remain unchanged . this tell us that starch is absent is solution A. When solution B is tested with Benedicts test‚ the clear blue solution remain unchanged‚ we
