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

added to a solution. We will analyze reactions in different pH ranges. The starch solution will appear blue when mixed with iodine. But after mixing the enzyme amylase to the starch‚ the starches are broken down into simple sugars. Now‚ when the iodine is added‚ no color change exist. Instruments and materials used: 1.) Dialysis bags x2 2.) Beakers 3.) Test tubes 4.) Water bath 5.) Iodine solution 6.) Starch solution 7.) String x4 8.) Dropper 9.) Thermometer 10.) Salty water

Volumetric Analysis of Vitamin C by Titration The objective of this experiment is to use a redox reaction titration to accurately determine the amount of vitamin C in a sample of lemon juice‚ orange juice‚ or grapefruit juice. Chemistry of Vitamin C The chemical name for vitamin C is L-ascorbic acid. Its molecular formula is C6H8O6; its molar mass is 176.12 g/mole. Ascorbic acid is found throughout the plant and animal kingdoms‚ occurring in citrus fruits‚ hip berries (such as rose

the membrane. Hence‚ this experiment is focused on diffusion and required to create a own model cell by pouring distilled H2O‚ starch‚ iodine and glucose in tied dialysis tubing to test for substance which diffuse through the membrane and which one could not due to its size. Materials and Methods Materials: * Distilled H2O * Starch solution * Iodine solution * Glucose solution * Test tube (3-4/group) * Test tube rack * Marking tape * Benedict’s test solution

found in saliva that acts on starch to begin the digestion process (Stick and Williams‚ 2009). Amylase acts on starch by breaking off maltose (C12H22O11) molecules from the end of starch chains (Di Giuseppe‚ 2002). Every time a bond is broken in a starch chain‚ a water molecule is consumed. This process is referred to as a hydrolysis reaction which requires water to digest a substrate‚ in this case starch (Walsh‚ 2002). Phosphorylase is also an enzyme that acts on starch by removing glucose molecules

C? Which one has more? In this experiment I’ll be taking some iodine and a starch solution and testing out some of the most basic people buy and love. Before this experiment can begin starch solution must be added to the beverages. As iodine is added‚ it will first react with the ascorbic acid in the beverage‚ producing a colorless product (dehydroascorbic acid). When the ascorbic acid runs out‚ the iodine will react with the starch in the beverage. At this poin‚ I will be able to recognize a highly

affect the rate of starch digestion measured using starch and iodine? Introduction Amylase is an enzyme found in human saliva and pancreas. It is the digestive enzyme that is needed to breakdown starch molecules. Amylase must be kept at certain conditions to function at its optimum level. This experiment will explore the effect of pH (1‚ 4‚ 7‚ 10‚ and 14) on the function of amylase by using starch and iodine. Usually iodine has a orange-yellow color‚ but iodine and starch react to produce a

different juices. Iodine will be added to the juice‚ which will create a reaction that can help determine the Vitamin C content. To start‚ pour 30 milliliters (mL) of Lugol’s solution into a 500 mL graduated cylinder. Add enough distilled water to bring the level of fluid to 300 mL. Slowly pour the diluted solution into the amber glass bottles‚ using a funnel. Store the bottles in a dark place‚ keeping the bottles

Introduction: In this lab you will observe the diffusion of a substance across a semi permeable membrane. Iodine is a known indicator for starch. An indicator is a substance that chances color in the presence of the substance it indicates. Watch as your teacher demonstrates how iodine changes in the presence of starch. **Prelab Observations: Describe what happened when iodine came into contact with starch.
