very important in many fields such as biofuel‚ industrial‚pharmaceutical and others. Amylase is an enzyme that break down starch/amylose in plants. Corn kernel contains starch‚ sugars and cellulose. This experiment focused on the effect of amylase on corn extract in respect to the rate of fermentation. Since amylase breaks down starch‚ the part of corn that contains the most starch should have the fastest rate of fermentation and the greatest amount of CO2 produced. Strength In our positive control

lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. This lab exercise is designed to show you the qualitative tests commonly used to detect their presence. Objectives Test for the presence of monosaccharides by using the Benedict’s test Test for the presence of starch‚ a polysaccharide‚ by using the Lugol’s iodine test Test for the presence of lipids by using the Sudan test Test for the presence of proteins by using the Biuret reagent test Determine the identity of an unknown substance by detecting the presence

testing for starch and glycogen‚ Benedict’s test for reducing sugars‚schultz’ solution for cellulose‚ Phloroglucinol to test for lignin ‚Xantoproitec test and Biuret’s test for protein.And for lipid ‚ Sudan 3 test and emulsion test was conducted. Depending on the test performed‚ certain results acquired‚ clearly identified the macromolecules present in each food sample. With the aid of the results from the lab‚ the unknown solution will also be determined. Starch 1. To test for starch‚ the starch

Prior to begin the experiment‚ preparation for some solutions is required to enhance the lab performance. The solutions needed are standardized potassium bromate‚ standardized sodium thiosulfate‚ and starch indicator. First‚ to prepare a starch indicator‚ pulverize 1g of soluble starch and add 15mL of water to make it as a paste-like substance. Dilute it with about 500mL of boiling water‚ and continue to heat until the mixture becomes clear. Cool it to room temperature and save it into a stoppered

Vitamin C: freshly squeezed OJ‚ bottled OJ‚ frozen OJ‚ canned OJ * Optional: container for waste solutions and source of clean rinse water There are two different preparations (starch-iodine or indophenol) that may be used for the vitamin C indicator solution. Neither is more accurate than the other. The starch-iodine mixture is much cheaper. It can be made ahead and stored in a dark‚ cool place in two liter soda bottles and dispensed in liter containers at the lab stations. Both indicators

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). Benedict ’s solution

Blue coloration turned to brick red precipitate. Reducing sugar is present in the solution A. Iodine test: The coloration remained unchanged. Starch is absent in solution A. Solution B Benedict’s test: The blue coloration remained unchanged. Reducing sugar is absent in solution B. Iodine test: The coloration turn into dark blue coloration.

joined together by a covalent glycosidic bond to create more complex sugars such as disaccharides (2 monosaccharide’s)‚ oligosaccharides (between three to ten monosaccharide’s) and polysaccharides (consists of several monosaccharide’s). (Karp‚ 2010) Starch is the most common nutritional polysaccharide‚ which consists of two polymers: amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is unbranched whereas amylopectin is branched. Structural polysaccharides consist of cellulose‚ which is a major component of plant cell
