rate of disappearance of starch molecules from the reaction mixture. Controlled variables: volume and concentration of starch solution; volume and concentration of amylase solution same drop size of iodine solutions; same drop size of reaction mixture taken out for iodine test. Control experiment: reaction mixture without either amylase or starch (this can show that the disappearance of starch is due to the action of amylase on starch). Assumption: 1

Making a plastic from potato starch – extracting starch In this activity you are going to extract starch from potatoes. This starch can be used to make a plastic. A similar process is used in industry to extract starch‚ which is then used in a number of products‚ including food and packaging. You will need: q q q q q q Approx 100 g clean (not muddy) potatoes Grater Tea strainer Distilled water Pestle and mortar 100 cm3 measuring cylinder. What to do q q q q q Grate about 100

saliva‚ and bacteria can hydrolyze polysaccharides and proteins. Through this experiment we have found that heat and acid hydrolyze starch while using the Benedicts test. Using the same test in a different manner showed how saliva has a big effect on the breakdown of polysaccharides. Using the IKI test we noticed bacteria like B.Cereus are able to digest starch polysaccharides‚ where as E.Coli does not‚ and also the effect of bacterial protein on digestion. Bacterial proteins such as S. Marcescens

seeds have high carbohydrate and protein content‚ hence‚ an abundant source of starch (Kurian‚ 2010). Starch is identified as a key natural product for the production of biodegradable plastic (Pranamuda‚ et al.‚ 2006). Based on the above information‚ the researchers decided to do research work on starch-based biodegradable plastic from jackfruit seeds. Henceforth‚ there is a need to establish the additive property of starch from jackfruit seeds as scientific basis for its use in the production of biodegradable

to break down starch in food into smaller carbohydrate molecules and disaccharides such as maltose. It can be found in humans and some other mammals. Some plants and bacteria may also produce amylase. After being broken down into smaller carbohydrate molecules‚ it can be converted into a monosaccharide such as glucose‚ which fuels processes for organism function. There are two variations of this molecule but the human body has alpha amylase. Food that contains large amounts of starch will have a slightly

It is used directly‚ made into a group of baked or gelatinized products or manufactured into glucose‚ dextrins and other products. Starchy foods have always been one of the staples of the human diet. They are mostly consumed in starch-bearing plants or in foods to which commercial starch or its derivatives have been added. The first starch was probably obtained from wheat by the Egyptians for

solvency. Many compounds are soluble when exposed to acetone. A Styrofoam and acetone experiment can determine if Styrofoam will dissolve when placed inside a container of acetone. Starch is the major component of flour. Starch exists in tiny granules‚ which swell and break when boiled in water. This releases the starch molecules‚ which then all stick together to make a goopy‚ gluey mess. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all I want to thank God for giving me strength for doing this investigatory

Grace Chung Abstract: Amylase is an important enzyme in the human body as it allows for the consumption of starch by breaking the polysaccharide down into maltose units. All enzymes‚ including amylase‚ function best at a certain optimal pH. Therefore‚ in this experiment‚ the effect of different pHs on the reaction rate of amylase is studied. It was hypothesized that the amylase-starch reaction would proceed fastest at a pH closest to that of the body‚ or 7.0‚ since that is where the enzyme normally

The color change in the indicator tells that cornstarch contains starch; honey‚ lettuce‚ and fruit juice contain sugar; corn oil contain lipid; and by comparing with the standard for positive identification of the substance‚ unknown is tested to have protein just as egg white. The result tells what nutrients are in the
