contain maltose contamination. Tubes 3‚ 4‚ and 5 showed that water had no starch or maltose contamination. Tube 3 directly showed that water did not have maltose or starch contamination. Tube 4 was a starch control (with the same water) that showed no maltose‚ and tube 5 was a maltose control (also with water) that showed no starch. If control tubes 3‚ 4‚ or 5 were not done‚ then what is perceived as digestion might really be starch or maltose contamination. Saliva would not be active in the stomach because

Protein or a Starch. It is my belief that only 1 or two of each of the substances in test 1( proteins) and test 2 (starch) will test positive for either protein or starch. For this lab the following materials were needed to complete the experiments in test 1 for proteins: Di water‚ ev milk‚ 50% egg solution‚ 1% sucrose‚ 4 test tubes‚ 1 test tube rate‚ safety glasses‚ pipets and the reagent solution. For test 2 for starches the following materials were used: Di water‚ 1% starch solution‚ onion

Potato starch 2. Sugar Water 3. Why did a color change occur in the jar water? Because IKI was added to give it an amber color (gold color). It iodine solution and this caused the color change. 4. What does the color change in #3 indicate? Water and IKI was in jar and the iodine caused the color change of the water. 5. Why did a color change occur in the dialysis tubing bag? In the bag there was water‚ sugar (glucose) and starch. When IKI (iodine) comes into contact with the starch the contents

Table 1 : The presence of starch and reducing sugar in the solution Observation Conclusion Solution A Benedict’s test : The transparent blue solution turns into opaque brick-red precipitate Iodine’s test : The clear colourless solution turns into transparent yellowish-brown solution. The pure colour of the solution is clear colourless solution and the transparent yellowish-brown colour is the iodine’s colour. There is presence of reducing sugar whereas absence of starch Solution B Benedict’s

Making a plastic from potato starch – extracting starch In this activity you are going to extract starch from potatoes. This starch can be used to make a plastic. A similar process is used in industry to extract starch‚ which is then used in a number of products‚ including food and packaging. You will need: q q q q q q Approx 100 g clean (not muddy) potatoes Grater Tea strainer Distilled water Pestle and mortar 100 cm3 measuring cylinder. What to do q q q q q Grate about 100

Iodine is a test for starch while Benedict’s solution is a test for reducing sugars. When solution A is tested by benidicts test‚ the clear blue solution changed to a little reddish and brick red precipitate is formed.this result show that solution A is a reducing sugar. When carried out iodine test with solution A‚ the colourless solution remain unchanged . this tell us that starch is absent is solution A. When solution B is tested with Benedicts test‚ the clear blue solution remain unchanged‚ we

saliva‚ and bacteria can hydrolyze polysaccharides and proteins. Through this experiment we have found that heat and acid hydrolyze starch while using the Benedicts test. Using the same test in a different manner showed how saliva has a big effect on the breakdown of polysaccharides. Using the IKI test we noticed bacteria like B.Cereus are able to digest starch polysaccharides‚ where as E.Coli does not‚ and also the effect of bacterial protein on digestion. Bacterial proteins such as S. Marcescens

Amylase. Solutions of starch and amylase were held at selected temperatures by various methods of temperature control. Once the solutions reached and maintained the desired temperature they were combined. Samples at timed intervals were then taken and reacted with a reagent to determine the effect the selected temperatures had on the reaction rate of enzyme and substrate. Results indicated that the enzyme functions efficiently at its optimum temperature (50oC) digesting the starch present and that any

seeds have high carbohydrate and protein content‚ hence‚ an abundant source of starch (Kurian‚ 2010). Starch is identified as a key natural product for the production of biodegradable plastic (Pranamuda‚ et al.‚ 2006). Based on the above information‚ the researchers decided to do research work on starch-based biodegradable plastic from jackfruit seeds. Henceforth‚ there is a need to establish the additive property of starch from jackfruit seeds as scientific basis for its use in the production of biodegradable
