an energy source (starch is the main source of human calories)‚ a flavouring (simple sugars are usually sweet) and as a functional ingredient (sucrose allows ice cream to be soft in the freezer; xanthan gum thickens a low-fat salad dressing). Carbohydrates are a type of macronutrient found in many foods and beverages. Most carbohydrates are naturally occurring in plant-based foods‚ such as grains. Food manufacturers also add carbohydrates to processed foods in the form of starch or added sugar. As

3). Citric acid promoted the collapse of starch granules; however‚ adding excessive citric acid led to the hydrolysis of glucose chains. No decrease in the viscoelasticity was observed for cornstarch pastes by adding acid at 25 °C after gelatinization. KEYWORDS: Cornstarch; viscoelasticity; citric acid; pH INTRODUCTION Starch has been widely used as a thickener‚ stabilizer‚ or gelling ingredient in the food industry. The main constituents of starch are amylose and amylopectin‚ which consist

groups. A chemical test that is sensitive to these groups can be used to identify molecules that are in that class. This lab is broken down into four different sections‚ the Benedict’s test for reducing sugars‚ the iodine test for the presence of starch‚ the Sudan III test for fatty acids‚ and the Biuret test for amino groups present in proteins. The last part of this lab takes an unknown substance and by the four tests‚ determine what the substance is. BENEDICT’S TEST Introduction: Monosaccharides

drops of each amylase and mix it with iodine to observe the presence of starch at each temperature. We conducted this experiment for both bacterial and fungal amylase. Results were reached based on the color of the iodine and amylase mixture. Colors were classified from 1-5‚ 1 being a light yellow and 5 being a dark brown. A light-yellow color means starch is not present in the solution‚ the lighter the color the less starch. This means that the temperature
Premium Enzyme Starch Amylase
Alpha amylase is an enzyme that aids in the breakdown of starch and glycogen to form glucose and maltose through the hydrolyses of alpha linked polysaccharides1. Starch is a complex carbon and is the main energy storage material found in plants and some bacteria. It is a major component of food as it supplies plants with energy and carbon. Starch consists of two types of polysaccharides called amylose and amylopectin1.The properties of starch can depend on the number of alpha 1‚4 glycosidic bonds and

LAB 10: NAME: DaeNia La Rodé DATE: 25TH January‚ 2011. FORM CLASS: L6 3 SUBJECT: Biology TITLE: Enzymes AIM: To investigate the effect of substrate concentration on the enzyme amylase INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are perhaps one of the most important proteins of the human body. Enzymes such as amylase‚ an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates‚ work by means of surface catalysis. In other words‚ the surface of the enzyme enables other molecules to react in a manner they would not be able to without

time Materials : Iodine solution‚ Benedict’s solution‚ 1% starch suspension‚ 30% glucose solution and distilled water Apparatus : A Visking tube‚ cotton thread‚ test tubes‚ beaker and water bath Procedure - Soak the Visking tube in water for 5 minutes to soften it. Open the Visking tube and tie one end of the tube with cotton thread to prevent leakage. - Fill the Visking tube with 15ml of glucose solution and 15ml of starch suspension. Tie the other end of tube tightly with cotton thread
