    Effect of different temperatures on amylase activity. Literature review This study is an attempt to follow the activity of amylase because it has a major role in the life of living organisms and is found abundantly in them. Amylase is a catalytic enzyme which hydrolyzes starch into maltose and dextrin at a certain temperature (Biology.kenyon.edu‚ 2015). In plants such as fruits and vegetables carbohydrates are referred to starch which is polysaccharide and is converted into disaccharide and eventually

    Energy in context Introduction Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into smaller molecules so they can pass though the intestinal wall into the bloodstream and be transported throughout the body. There are seven different food groups in a balanced diet which should include Carbohydrate‚ fat‚ water‚ protein‚ fibre‚ vitamins and minerals. Although most foods contain these in some shape or form the foods that contain most of one type fall into that category‚ a chicken

    Biosynthesis of Starch Introduction: In this lab we learned the concept and procedure of synthesizing starch. We also learned the effects of pH and temperature on the reaction rates of amylase.. In the process of the synthesis lab we learned phosphorylation using a potato‚ which was what we synthesized. The phosphorylation took place after the addition of primer. There are two different types of starches used are amylose and amylopectin. To test for the presence of starch‚ the Starch Test is used

    Resistant starch (RS) is starch and starch degradation products that escape from digestion in the small intestine of healthy individuals.[1] Resistant starch is considered the third type of dietary fiber‚ as it can deliver some of the benefits of insoluble fiber and some of the benefits of soluble fiber. Some carbohydrates‚ such as sugars and most starch‚ are rapidly digested and absorbed as glucose into the body through the small intestine and subsequently used for short-term energy needs or stored

    temperature and the enzyme activity of amylase. This was achieved by attaining amylase enzyme‚ starch solution and potassium iodide (determines if enzymes hydrolyses the starch solution)‚ water bath and a hot plate. The temperatures used for this experiment were room temperature‚ 37oC‚ 60oC‚ 80oC‚ and 90oC. The hypothesis developed was that as the temperature increased‚ so will enzyme activity. Therefore‚ the ability of the enzyme to break down the starch solution will occur at a faster rate because

    It about modified starch Journal of Agricultural Science Vol. 2‚ No. 2‚ June 2010 requirements are properties such as viscosity‚ resistant to shear‚ low pH and high temperature. Accordingly‚ varieties of modified starches are used in food industry. Table 1 lists some of the modified starches that can be prepared from different sources to meet the marketing-related requirements. Today‚ modified food starch is a food additive and limits of its modification‚ use and labeling are clearly defined

    1 The Limits of Amylase 2-1-14 Abstract This report explains the purpose of this experiment in a way that conveys information to the reader about Amylase’s ability to withstand acidic or basic pH. To do this‚ two test tubes were both filled with 5mL of a 5% amylase solution. The first one was filled with an acid‚ while the other was filled with a base. After dropping liquid Iodine and Benedict’s solution into each one‚ the tube with a basic pH tested positive for glucose. The acidic solution

    Digestion is the complex process of turning the food you eat into the energy you need to survive. The digestion process also involves creating waste to be eliminated. The digestive tract (or gut) is a long twisting tube that starts at the mouth and ends at the anus. It is made up of a series of by muscles that coordinate the movement of food and other cells that produce enzymes and hormones to aid in the breakdown of food. Along the way are three other organs that are needed for digestion: the liver

    The Rate of Reaction that Enzyme Concentration‚ pH‚ and Temperatures Have on the Amylase Enzymes Color Disappearance Abstract: Compare reaction rates of the concentrations‚ pH’s‚ and temperatures of the enzyme Amylase. At what concentrates do the substrate molecules collide with each other‚ making the reaction possible? At what pH levels do the 3D molecular structures change breaking the H-bond and/or denaturize? At what temperatures do the collisions of the substrate molecules happen
