PURPOSEThe purpose of the lab is to learn how to determine the presence of glucose‚ starch‚ lipid‚ and protein in various samples through standard tests. MODIFICATION1. Protein solution‚ vegetable oil‚ glucose solution‚ sucrose solution‚ starch solution and distilled water were added separately into six marked test tubes. The volume added was about one finger thick in depth of a test tube. 2. 5 drops of Iodine solution was added to each test tube. 3. The sample’s reaction with iodine was recorded

using cassava starch? ABSTRACT The study aims to produce biodegradable plastic using cassava starch as its main component. Cassava starch was mixed with water‚ epoxydized soya beanoil (ESBO)‚ glycerol‚ and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The mixture was then compressed and tested. Three preparations were made from the mixture. The first preparation contained 50 grams starch‚ 50 grams water‚ 50 grams PVA‚ 2.5 grams ESBO‚ and 2.5 grams glycerol. The second preparation contained 65 grams starch‚ 65 grams water

Table 1 : The presence of starch and reducing sugar in the solution Observation Conclusion Solution A Benedict’s test : The transparent blue solution turns into opaque brick-red precipitate Iodine’s test : The clear colourless solution turns into transparent yellowish-brown solution. The pure colour of the solution is clear colourless solution and the transparent yellowish-brown colour is the iodine’s colour. There is presence of reducing sugar whereas absence of starch Solution B Benedict’s

Iodine is a test for starch while Benedict’s solution is a test for reducing sugars. When solution A is tested by benidicts test‚ the clear blue solution changed to a little reddish and brick red precipitate is formed.this result show that solution A is a reducing sugar. When carried out iodine test with solution A‚ the colourless solution remain unchanged . this tell us that starch is absent is solution A. When solution B is tested with Benedicts test‚ the clear blue solution remain unchanged‚ we

aim of this experiment is to investigate the affect of pH on the enzyme amylase. The amylase is used to break down the polysaccharide starch. Amylase is a digestive enzyme classified as a saccharidase (an enzyme that cleaves polysaccharides). It is mainly a constituent of pancreatic juice and saliva‚ needed for the breakdown of long-chain carbohydrates (such as starch) into smaller units. Amylase is also synthesized in the fruit of many plants during ripening‚ causing them to become sweeter‚ and also

Amylase. Solutions of starch and amylase were held at selected temperatures by various methods of temperature control. Once the solutions reached and maintained the desired temperature they were combined. Samples at timed intervals were then taken and reacted with a reagent to determine the effect the selected temperatures had on the reaction rate of enzyme and substrate. Results indicated that the enzyme functions efficiently at its optimum temperature (50oC) digesting the starch present and that any

temperature for these enzymes. The amylase was mixed with starch at temperatures of 0℃‚ 37℃‚ 57℃‚ and 90℃. Iodine was added to each mixture and colour changes in each case. Bacteria amylase was found to be effective at 55 0C as the temperature dropped drastically from 4.58℃ to 2.33℃. This shows that the amylase catabolized a lot of starch hence little is left which cannot turn the iodine solution to blue-black which indicates the presence of starch. Fungal amylase is denatured at 90 ℃. This was shown

Tapioca consists of starch extracted from the cassava root. Cassava was one of the main food sources of Native Americans throughout South America. It is thought that it originated south of the Amazon River in what is now Brazil. It was being cultivated by the people in this region as far back as 8000 BC. By 6000 BC‚ it was being grown in what is now Mexico and in Peru by 2000 BC. Its cultivation would spread throughout the Caribbean well before the arrival of the Europeans. Christopher Columbus
