Jello and enzyme lab
Questions
1. What did you observe before putting it in the refrigerator?
Before putting the Jell-O in the refrigerator there was no change to the first two cups of Jell-O, however the Jell-O with the most tenderizer went slightly cloudy.
2. What did you observe after 1 hour in the refrigerator?
After 1 hour of the Jell-O being refrigerated cup â»1 with no tenderizer was set, cup â»2 with the least amount of tenderizer was firm but not set, and cup â»3 with the most tenderizer was not set.
3. What did you observe after 1 night in the refrigerator?
After 1 night of the Jell-O being refrigerated cup â»1 with no tenderizer was set and very firm, cup â»2 with the least amount of tenderizer was set but not as firm as cup â»1, and cup â»3 with the most tenderizer was not set but had a watery jelly like texture.
4. Does Jell-O contain protein?
According to the results in this lab Jell-O must contain protein due to the fact that the meat tenderizer was able to break down the Jell-O much the same as it would break down the proteins in meat.
5. Did the amount of meat tenderizer give different results?
The amount of meat tenderizer did give different results, cup â»2 with the least amount of tenderizer did not break down as much as the cup â»3 with the most tenderizer.
Conclusion
According to this lab it demonstrated that Jell-O does have protein since the enzymes in the meat tenderizer were able to break down the Jell-O and prevent it from setting. This data also shows that the amount of enzymes effects the breakdown of proteins since the cup with the least amount of meat tenderizer set better than the cup with the most amount of meat tenderizerizer
