    fungal Amylases and evaluate how temperature affects the catabolic rate of enzymes. Enzyme reaction rate was measured using an Iodine test in which drops of starch solution with either fungal or bacterial Amylase exposed to different temperatures were mixed with Iodine. Iodine is a dark blue color in the presence of starch and turns light yellow in its absence. Bacterial Amylase had an optimal temperature of 55°C‚ meaning that starch was broken down the fastest at this temperature. Fungal Amylase showed

    materials. The core problem of these starch based plastics is their hydrophilic character and the fact that they tend to become brittle with ageing. Unmodified starch is too much hydrophilic to be used as food packaging material. Chemical modification must be carried out in order to make them hydrophobic. These modifications are grafting‚ alkylation-especially esterification including acetylation. The purpose of the project is to prepare acetylated starches/starch esters of different Degree of Substitution
