is replaced with an alkyl group‚ it becomes an ester group. “The reaction typically gives 60-70% of the maximum yield” (Staudt‚ 80). The reaction of an ester could also be reversible to make carboxylic acid and alcohol; this process is called hydrolysis. But when‚ “the base-promoted decomposition of esters yield an alcohol and a salt of the carboxylic acids; this process is called saponification”; In other words‚ it is the process of making soap (Staudt 80). Moreover‚ Esters are liquid at room

most important detergent enzymes. Lipases decompose fats into more water-soluble compounds. Amylases are used in detergents to remove starch based stains. 2. Starch hydrolysis and fructose production The use of starch degrading enzymes was the first large scale application of microbial enzymes in food industry. Mainly two enzymes carry out conversion of starch to glucose: alpha-amylase and fungal enzymes. Fructose produced from sucrose as a starting material. Sucrose is split by invertase into

the Components of Panacetin: Introduction: Of the three components likely to be present in your sample of Panacetin (aspirin‚ acetanilide‚ and starch)‚ only starch is insoluble in the organic solvent dichloromethane (or methylene chloride)‚ CH2 Cl2. If a sample of Panacetin is dissolved as completely as possible in dichloromethane‚ the insoluble starch can be filtered out‚ leaving acetanilide and aspirin in solution. The purpose of this experiment is to extract the components of Panacetin.

Bailey Rose The Effects on Enzymes Bailey Rose 10/31/2011 Abstract In this lab exercise‚ the study of enzyme catalase‚ we viewed the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The purpose was to isolate catalase from starch and measure the rate of activity under different conditions. Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme Concentration were the conditions tested in the experiment. Our class performed this experiment by breaking

tubes indicate that the deionized water did not contain contaminating starch or maltose? a. 3‚ 4 and 5 - all showed water If we left out control tubes‚ 3‚ 4 and 5‚ what objections could be raised to the statement: "Amylase digests starch to maltose"? (Hint: Think about the purity of the chemical solutions.) a. if control tubes 3‚ 4‚ and 5 were not done‚ then what is perceived as digestion might really be starch or maltose contamination. Would the amylase present in saliva be active

as the optimal temperature needed for the enzyme to correlate with the bacteria and fungi. The enzyme’s break down within the starch was observed through different temperatures and time periods. The Starch was placed in both the fungal and bacterial amylase where they were then placed on spot plates. Through the iodine test‚ it was concluded whether the breakdown of starch occurred or not.

Campbell’s Biology‚ 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 5 The Structure and Function of Large Biological Molecules In Chapter 5‚ the principles of chemistry covered in earlier chapters are applied to the understanding of biological polymers and lipid membranes. The emphasis is on properly linking monomers and their polymers‚ and on the structural and functional diversity of the different polymer types. Particular attention is given to protein structure‚ because this is central to understanding subsequent
