and polysaccharides) and proteins. To identify the presence of these macromolecules in a substance‚ three different tests were performed. Lugol ’s iodine solution was used for identification of starch and glycogen - polysaccharides - in the twelve solutions. A positive outcome of the test results in a colour change; blue-black in the presence of starch and a red-brown in the presence of glycogen. A negative outcome results in no colour change and all solutions remain a very pale yellow (Pavia‚ 2005)

Experiment 4 – Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Aim To study the effects of temperature on the activity of amylase enzyme on starch solution. Introduction Enzymes are widely known as biological catalyst. Almost all cellular reactions are controlled and guarded by enzymes. Virtually every metabolic reaction which takes place within a living organisms are catalyzed by enzymes. Enzymes are complex three-dimensional globular proteins. Some of the enzymes are built up off proteins and

using the iodine/ thiosulphate titration where the reducing solution is potassium iodate solution and the oxidizing solution is sodium thiosulphate solution. Potassium iodate solution which is an oxidizing agent is added into an excess solution of acidified potassium iodide. This reaction will release iodine. Potassium iodide is acidified with sulphuric acid and the iodine released quickly titrated with sodium thiosulphate until it become light yellow. The iodine then detected with starch solution

them is the amylase enzyme. Amylases are found in saliva‚ and pancreatic secretions of the small intestine. The function of amylase is to break down big molecules of starch into small molecules like glucose; this process is called hydrolysis. Enzymes are very specific; for example‚ amylase is the only enzyme that will break down starch. It is similar to the theory of the lock and the key. The enzyme is the lock and the key is the substrate; only the correct key could fit into the keyhole of the lock

the 1% starch solution will test positve for starches becasue it is starch. The onion juice should carry starch due to the fact that starch is stored energy for plants and onions are very bulbous‚ while the sucrose solution again will not test positive because sucrose is only a part of starch.

Viviana Veber Bio 1510 Sec 21 Carbohydrates Introduction: The objective of this experiment was to identify the reaction of carbohydrates in Benedict’s test‚ Barfoed’s test and Iodine test. Carbohydrates are essential to living organisms‚ and the principal role of carbohydrates is the production of energy. Carbohydrates are groups of sugars that contain carbon‚ oxygen‚ and hydrogen in a 1:2:1 ratio. Three main units of carbohydrates are monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides

A reagent that is particularly good for the oxidation is an aqueous solution of iodine‚ I2. The brown iodine solution can be reduced by vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to form colourless iodide ions. However‚ I2 solution is not normally prepared directly by dissolving iodine in water because iodine is too volatile so it is almost impossible to avoid loss while the solution is being prepared. Therefore iodine is prepared in situ by mixing pure potassium iodate (KIO3 ) and potassium iodide (KI)

The first one was filled with an acid‚ while the other was filled with a base. After dropping liquid Iodine and Benedict’s solution into each one‚ the tube with a basic pH tested positive for glucose. The acidic solution tested (mostly) negative for glucose‚ although there were trace amounts at the bottom. Overall‚ my conclusion is that only acidic solutions inhibit Amylase’s ability to digest starch. Background The goal of the experiment is to test whether or not Amylase can withstand abnormal

presence of some of these‚ such as sugar‚ fat‚ starch‚ and protein‚ can be determined using tests such as Benedict’s solution‚ Lugol’s iodine solution‚ Biuret’s reagent‚ and Sudan III. Control tests were performed to determine what a positive result would appear like. Then the tests were performed using substances containing sprite‚ fries‚ hamburgers‚ and chicken nuggets. Results matching the control results would establish how much protein‚ fat‚ starch‚ and sugar there was in each mixture. Introduction
