known as ketoses.Glucose and galactose are example of aldoses while fructose is an example of ketoses.There are few test can be done for testing these sugar to show or prove are they reducing sugar or non reducing sugar.Example of the test that can be done is Benedict test. 1 In plant‚glucose is stored as the polysaccharide starch.Example of food that rich in starch is oat‚cereal‚rice and corn.Starch can be divided into two groups which is that is amylose and amylopectin.

Amylase Enzyme vs. Starch vs. pH vs. Temperature Taylor Ellsworth Professor Michael Bunch Cell Biology 112 “Effects of Amylase reaction time when breaking down starch.” Experiment Goal: The goal of our experiment was to understand the similarities in digestion by finding out how long it takes for the amylase enzyme‚ found in saliva‚ to break down our substrate‚ starch. Hypothesis: While understanding that starch is broken down by our saliva (amylase enzyme) we predict that the higher

Conclusion 1. Why was the water tested for each of the initial chemical tests? The water was tested for each initial chemical test because it served as the controlled variable. Since water is pure oxygen and hydrogen unlike Glucose and Starch‚ one variable may be observed. 2. Biuret reagent will turn your skin brownish-purple. Explain why this occurs. Biuret reagent will turn your skin a brownish-purple because Iodine detects protein in a substance by changing the color to a brown or purple

Reducing sugar gives positive result in Benedict’s test as the colour of solution change from blue to brick-red and there is brick-red precipitate. Starch give positive result in Iodine test as the colour of solution change from yellow to dark blue. Glucose is the simplest carbohydrates that are monosaccharide or simple sugar. Starch consisting of a large number of glucose units joined together by glycosidic linkage and known as polysaccharide‚ that is polymers of sugar. Saliva that contains salivary

non-reducing sugars‚ starch‚ lipids and proteins in unknown substances: Our aim: was to find out which substances from our five samples have reducing sugars present to determine what they may be for example; they could be monosacchrides or disaccharides. This was carried out by using Benedict’s test. To find out which substances from our five samples were non-reducing sugars‚ since some disaccharides are reducing sugars and this would be carried out by using Benedict’s test. To find out which

techniques and biochemical testing to identify an unknown bacteria using Bergey’s manual. Bergey’s manual of Systematic Bacteriology is a dichotomous key primarily used to identify a bacterial species. Biochemical tests are used to differentiate different species of bacteria. These tests are effective in determining the characteristics of the microbe being tested. Such characteristics include citrate utilization‚ gelatin hydrolysis‚ nitrate reduction‚ etc. Biochemical testing is very important in

aims to produce biodegradable plastic using cassava starch as its main component. Cassava starch was mixed with water‚ epoxydized soya bean oil (ESBO)‚ glycerol‚ and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The mixture was then compressed and tested. Three preparations were made from the mixture. The first preparation contained 50 grams starch‚ 50 grams water‚ 50 grams PVA‚ 2.5 grams ESBO‚ and 2.5 grams glycerol. The second preparation contained 65 grams starch‚ 65 grams water‚ 50 grams PVA‚ 2.5 grams ESBO‚ and 2
