    Experiment 2: Starch Hydrolysis by Amylase Theoretical Background Polymers of carbohydrates are called polysaccharides‚ and make up some of the most important naturally occurring compounds [1]. They have thousands of monosaccharide units linked to each other by oxygen bridges. They include starch‚ glycogen‚ and cellulose‚ all three of which yield only glucose when completely hydrolyzed [2]. A B Figure 1. Starch (amylose) (A) and cellulose (B) Starch occurs

    how starch and cellulose are treated to allow them to be used by the yeast? One potential ethanol feedstock is starch. Starch molecules are made up of long chains of glucose molecules. Thus‚ starchy materials can also be fermented after breaking starch molecules into simple glucose molecules. Examples of starchy materials commonly used around the world for ethanol production include cereal grains‚ potato‚ sweet potato‚ and cassava. A great amount of ethanol fuel is currently produced by starch

    Focused Question: How can one determine the presence of glucose‚ starch‚ lipid‚ and protein in various samples? Pre-lab Questions: • Glucose is a monosaccharide. What does this mean? A monosaccaride is a carbohydrate molecule with three to seven carbon atoms with the corresponding number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. • Proteins are made of amino acids. What atom is present in an amino acid that is not present in a sugar molecule? One nitrogen atom is present per molecule in an amino acid

    controlled substance was the one with starch in the dialysis bag‚ and the experimental substance was the one with starch and amylase in the dialysis bag. Both had the same solvent outside of the bag (Lugols and Distilled Water). The color change differed from inside and outside the bag as time went on‚ and at the end of the 45 minutes‚ the two bags had changed colors. The solute in the controlled substance had a darker color to it‚ with it looking a majority blue/black. The solute in the experimental

    circular pattern. A boy gives a cookie to a mouse. The mouse asks for a glass of milk. He then requests a straw (to drink the milk)‚ a mirror (to avoid a milk mustache)‚ nail scissors (to trim his hair)‚ and a broom (to sweep up). Next he wants to take a nap‚ to have a story read to him‚ to draw a picture‚ and to hang the drawing on the refrigerator. Looking at the refrigerator makes him thirsty‚ so the mouse asks for a glass of milk. The circle is complete when he wants a cookie to go with it. Author

    hydrolysis of starch is carried out under milder conditions: lower temperatures (up to 1000C)‚ normal pressure‚ pH of the medium around 6 – 8. At the same time enzymatic hydrolysis is characterized by high reaction rate‚ high stability of the enzyme towards the denaturizing action of solvents‚ detergents‚ proteolytic enzymes‚ and a decrease in the viscosity of the reaction medium at higher temperatures‚ etc. Most often‚ enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out with the enzyme α-amylase from different sources

    Treating Starch How are starch and cellulose treated to allow them to be used in yeast? Starches: · All potable alcohol and most fermentation industrial alcohol is currently made principally from grains. · Fermentation of starch from grain is somewhat more complex than fermentation of sugars because starch must first be converted to sugar and then to ethanol. · Starch is converted enzymatically to glucose either by diastase presents in sprouting grain or by fungal amylase. · The resulting

    orange juice is held in a test subject’s mouth‚ the greater the ability of the test subject’s saliva will become to break down starches. Dependent Variable: pH of the saliva. Independent Variable: time that the juice is swished in the mouth. Controlled Variables: Orange juice only. The amount of orange juice tested must be the same for every trial. A 1% starch solution must be used in every test tube. Identical iodine solutions must be used to test the starch solution. The temperature
