reaction rate of an enzyme‚ ’-amylase in starch-iodine solution. We will be testing the relationship between enzymatic reaction affected by temperature and pH. Through the testing the enzyme at different temperatures‚ and different pH levels; it would determine at which temperature and pH level the enzyme worked the most efficiently. Analyzing absorbance of the solutions with spectrophotometery will determine the reaction rate. To test the optimal pH‚ the starch and a buffer were combined at a specific

Bread contains starch. The starch content in bread is derived from the starchy endosperm of wheat. Refined breads have the bran and germ removed from the wheat in order to produce softer‚ silkier flour. there is a lot more food containing starch like: Starchy foods such as potatoes‚ bread‚ cereals‚ rice and pasta should make up about a third of the food you eat. Where you can‚ choose wholegrain varieties‚ or eat potatoes with their skins on for more fibre. Starch is the most common form of

Experiment A1: Kinetics of the Reaction between Acetone and Iodine The key aim of this experiment was to determine the rate equation for the acid-catalysed iodination of acetone and to hence consider the insinuations of the mechanism of the rate equation obtained. The stoichiometric equation for the reaction between iodine and acetone is below‚ followed by the rate equation (where x‚y‚z and k are the values to be obtained): I2 + CH3COCH3 CH3COCH2I + HI -d[I2]/dt = k [I2]x [CH3COCH3]y [H+]z

Amylases are enzymes that break down starch or glycogen. Amylases are produced by a variety of living organisms‚ ranging from bacteria to plants and humans. Bacteria and fungi secrete amylases to the outside of their cells to carry out extracellular digestion. When they have broken down the insoluble starch‚ the soluble end products such as (glucose or maltose) are absorbed into their cells. Amylases are classified based on how they break down starch molecules i. α-amylase (alpha-amylase)

Property of Starch The experiment obtained Starch to have a bulk density of 0.48g/ml‚ i.e. 0.48g of Starch occupies 1ml of water. This value represented the density of starch incorporating the voids. The tapped density was found to be 0.60g/ml. This value represented the density of starch excluding the voids and intra- particle pores greater than molecular and atomic dimensions in the crystal lattice. This simple means‚ by reducing the number of intermolecular spaces between the starch particles‚

the presence of small quantities of starch and sodium thiosulfate solutions. As the iodine molecules are produced they immediately react with the thiosulfate ions and are converted back to iodide ions: I2(aq) + 2S2O32⁻(aq) → 2I⁻(aq) + S4O62⁻(aq) During this period the reaction mixture remains colourless. But once the thiosulfate ions have been used up‚ a blue/black colour suddenly appears because the iodine molecules now get the chance to react with the starch. A series of experiments will be carried

2013 Title: Starch Digestion by Pancreatic Amylase Statement of the Problem: What happens to enzymes when they are boiled? If digestion doesn’t occur‚ which will be present starch or maltose? If digestion does occur‚ which will be present starch or maltose? Hypothesis: I predict that when enzymes are boiled‚ they will become larger. If digestion does not occur starch will be present‚ and if it does occur maltose will be present. Materials: Test Tube Boiling Water Starch Suspension

Abstract The researcher is conducting this experiment to find the optimum temperature and pH for starch on amylase. The experiment was carried out in one day. The researcher and a partner did the experiment based on a lab manuel from class. Data was collected from the experiment and to be displayed on graphs. Then the optimum pH and temperatures were to be calculated based on the findings. The hypothesis was disproved due to the optimum pH of 5 but the other findings supported the hypothesis of

Effect of Iodine on mercury concentrations in dental-unit wastewater John Michael Panganiban and Ian Jasper Ocampo Objective: This study was undertaken to determine whether iodine used to control bacteria in dental unit wastewater could increase mercury concentrations in dental wastewater. Introduction: Two of the major concerns in dentistry are biofilm in dental unit waterlines and the contamination of dental unit wastewater with mercury. Biofilms are microscopic communities that consist
