    Test for Starch Introduction and Hypothesis: In this experiment‚ we used iodine to test for starch in certain solutions. Iodine separates starch from polysaccharides‚ monosaccharides‚ and disaccharides. Starch is a curled polymer of glucose and iodine interacts with molecules‚ which changes the color of the molecules to a kind of black color. Iodine does not respond with carbohydrates that are not curled or coiled‚ thus the color stays yellowish brown. A black color result means that starch is current

    How Temperature Affects Amylase Activity Abstract This study of the effect of temperature on the enzyme amylase was performed to determine the relationship between the enzyme amylase and temperature. The rate of reaction was found to increase as the temperature of the environment was raised. As the temperature was raised from 5°C‚ 20°C‚ 35°C and finally to 80°C the rate of reaction followed this trend and also increased. However as predicted in the hypothesis of this experiment when the temperature

    pH Affecting on Amylase Enzyme Is there a difference in the concentration of pH in the amylase enzyme activity? The null hypothesis would be that there will be no difference in the concentration of pH and alternative hypothesis would be that there will be a difference in the concentration of pH. The predication if that there will be a difference in the concentration of pH. The pH affects on enzyme activities‚ one of the enzyme that was used in the process was amylase. When a serial dilution was

    Enzymatic Activity of Salivary Amylase Abstract: Salivary amylase is an enzyme that can digest starch molecules and break them down to sugar molecules. In this experiment‚ the enzymatic activity and specificity of salivary amylase was examined depending on the changes in pH and temperature. In the first part of the experiment‚ the effect of temperature was determined‚ using constant temperature bath (4‚ room temp‚ 37‚ 50‚ 60‚ and 70°C). Having the room temp and 50°C as the highest and 37°C as infinite

    B. Statement of the problem. General Problem The problem is if cassava starch is an effective component for biodegradable plastic. Specific problems The easiest problem to solve will be the texture and bubbles.  The mixture can’t be too thick when it’s being made and heated. If it’s too thick‚ air bubbles will get trapped in the mixture when it’s heated and won’t be able to get out. Try adding more water. It will take longer to dry‚ of course‚ but that will help to get rid of the bubbles

    where people use mechanical digestion and use their teeth to break down their food. With the help of saliva produced by the salivary glands‚ which produce enzymes‚ food is able to be broken down further. This is also the place where ingestion takes place” “What are enzymes” “Enzymes are very efficient catalysts for biochemical reactions. In the mouth there’s an enzyme that will help your food undergo chemical digestion” “What is it” “It is amylase. Which help digest starch into smaller molecules. This

There are many conditions that are necessary for digestion of lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ protein such as pH and enzyme and substrate. The test tube that digestion of lipids occurs in was test tube 1‚3‚4‚ test tube 2 there was no digestion because there was no enzyme. Test tube 1 was the fastest for digestion because the

    Abstract α-amylase was immobilized covalently on iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles. The synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles was done by the coprecipitation conventional method. The chemical composition and particle size of the synthesized particles was confirmed via X-ray diffraction. Tyrosine‚ Lucien and chitosan and glutaraldehyde were investigated to make a covalent binding between the iron oxide magnetic core and the immobilized enzyme. Immobilization using chitosan and glutaraldehyde show
