purpose of the lab is to determine how different factors affect the digestion of starch. Starch is a type of complex carbohydrate with large polysaccharide molecules that are made up of hundreds of glucose subunits. The digestion of starch begins in the mouth with the enzyme amylase and continues in the small intestine. Maltose‚ a disaccharide‚ breaks down the large polysaccharide molecules. Maltase‚ also found in the small intestine‚ splits each maltose molecule in to two glucose

Winston MPH‚ RD‚ CDE FCS 373 Lab # 2 Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine the effects acid and sugar in various amounts have on a cornstarch paste. The importance of this experiment is to examine what causes starch to thicken or thin which is relevant to obtaining the desired viscosity for recipes that involve starch cookery without complication. Factors to be considered in the thickening power of cornstarch include the concentration of starch‚ extent of gelatinization thus

BIOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT MOLECULES Abstract Compounds containing the element carbon‚ called organic compounds‚ are the most important substances that make up living organisms. There are thousands and thousands of different organic compounds. To identify the major types of organic compounds in living organisms ‚ several biochemical test were used . Introduction Organic molecules are those primarily made up of carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen. The common organic compounds of living organisms are

Experiment 9. The action of saliva on starch Study the flow chart on p. 9.02 for a few minutes to gain an idea of the outline of the experiment. (a) Prepare a water bath by using a Bunsen burner to heat some water in a beaker on a tripod and gauze till it boils; then turn the flame down to keep the water just boiling. While waiting for the water to boil‚ carry on from (b). (b) Label eight test-tubes 1 - 8 and in tube 1 collect saliva as follows: (i) Thoroughly rinse the mouth with

Cynthia Vang Derrick 24 Title: Digestion of Starch Problem: Hypothesis: If synthetic saliva breaks down the cracker the most Then more of the cracker should be digested Because synthetic saliva contains amylase‚ and amylase helps break down complex carbohydrates.

Lab Report Procedure 6.1: Perform Benedict’s test for reducing sugars. Introduction: Benedict’s tests allows for the detection of the presence of reducing sugars. All monosaccharides are reducing sugars since all of them have active carbonyl group. Some disaccharides that are exposed to a carbonyl group are also reducing sugars but less reactive than monosaccharides. By mixing the sugar solution with Benedict’s solution and heating them‚ a redox reaction will occur. The copper (II) sulphate

can one determine the presence of glucose‚ starch‚ lipid‚ and protein in various samples? Pre-lab Questions: • Glucose is a monosaccharide. What does this mean? A monosaccaride is a carbohydrate molecule with three to seven carbon atoms with the corresponding number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. • Proteins are made of amino acids. What atom is present in an amino acid that is not present in a sugar molecule? One nitrogen atom is present per molecule in an amino acid. Data Collection:

Salt Sugar Fat is a book written by Michael Moss‚ to inform the audience of the effects of salts‚ sugars and fats on the human race when it is found in foods consumed everyday. Parts of the brain and stimulants such as the bliss point are introduced to inform the reader just how these substances can stimulate the body during the consumption of foods. Large food corporations are brought under fire throughout most of the book as well. The main argument of the book written by Moss is that salt‚ sugar
