released. These are the most commonly made of recycled and/or natural organic materials. They utilize nature’s abundant supplies to create a replica or substitute for our plastics. One example would be the “Biodegradable plastic bags” made from the starch of the Cassava plant (Manihot esculent). The new plastic has been able to capture the interests of buyers‚ enabling it to advocate the benefits and obvious effects one can receive from using an eco-friendly product. To further elaborate the example

soaked and place in a bowl. It was then grinded using a spoon. The starch on it was extracted a Muslim cloth. The juice/extract was separated from the starch and was placed on the remaining two bowls. One fourth kilo of starch was produced. After that‚ the starch was set on a fiber glass. It was flattened and the top layer was covered with plastic cover. It was then dried under the sun. After about 7 hours of sun drying‚ the starch was removed from the fiber glass. Same treatment was also done for

The Effect of Starch on the Activity of Amylase with pH Variable Lab Report‚ Fall 2011 East Tennessee State University Department of Biological Sciences By: Shelby Brackett Date Performed: October 10‚ 2011 Lab Instructor: Joseph Kusi Biology 1111‚ Section 018 Abstract Enzymes are very important in chemical reactions. They are used to speed up the reaction taking place. They act by binding to a specific substrate and form an enzyme-substrate complex that may put stress on chemical bonds

is just a brand name for Povidone-iodine. This substance was made in 1955 for a wide variety of medical uses. Here are just a few: Doctors scrub their hands with it before surgery‚ it is used as eye drops and throat rinses‚ it is applied on the skin before general surgery and even used in homes for cuts and scrapes. All of these uses have to do with disinfecting the skin‚ which is what Povidone-iodine does best. Although‚ the amount of concentrated Povidone-iodine changes depending on the use. For

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:

encountered‚ but still knowledge on how fast these occur and the factors affecting it were still insufficient. This study aimed to determine the different factors affecting the rate of reaction and how these factors affected it. An experiment named iodine clock reaction was done to answer the questions raised. In this study the reaction of iodide ion and peroxodisulfate (VI) ion was analyzed with the help of thiocyanate ion. The experiment was divided into three parts. First‚ second‚ and third parts

Small samples of acetaminophen‚ acetylsalicylic acid‚ cellulose‚ starch‚ and caffeine were obtained. These samples were then placed into seperate sets of test tubes that contained water‚ acetone‚ or dichloroethane. Solubilities were then tested for each sample in each solution which can be seen in Table 5. Next‚ four random pills were obtained and weights were taken of each. Each of the pills were grinded up using a separate mortar and pestle. The grinded up pills were then weighed. The grinded

Review Application and research progress of starch in polymer materials★ Wang Zhi-fen‚ Fang Lin‚ Zhang Ke-xi‚ Fu Xin Abstract: Starch a natural polymer that is characterized by cheap‚ regenerative‚ and good biodegradation is generally mixed with low density polyethylene‚ high density polyethylene‚ polypropylene‚ and polystryrene to prepare degradable materials. In order to relieve "white pollution" due to undegradability of plastic materials‚ starch is mixed with polyvinyl alcohol‚ polylactic acid

Amylase Enzyme vs. Starch vs. pH vs. Temperature Taylor Ellsworth Professor Michael Bunch Cell Biology 112 “Effects of Amylase reaction time when breaking down starch.” Experiment Goal: The goal of our experiment was to understand the similarities in digestion by finding out how long it takes for the amylase enzyme‚ found in saliva‚ to break down our substrate‚ starch. Hypothesis: While understanding that starch is broken down by our saliva (amylase enzyme) we predict that the higher
