The enzyme that involved in the reaction is salivary amylase. The action of amylase on starch is with the mixture of IKI (iodine and potassium iodide test).Starch solution will have a blue-black colour in the mixture but no changes in colour for maltose solution. When hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to the starch solution‚ the color will

Enzymatic activity of Human saliva (Salivary amylase) against Temperature Proponent: Ian Angelo P. Dela Cruz BS-Biology 1-3 Prof. McJervis S. Villaruel Professor – BIOL2015(Lab) ABSTRACT This report entitled “Enzymatic activity of Human saliva (Salivary amylase) against temperature” aims to know and observe the enzyme activity of the human saliva. The research only included the use of starch-agar as the medium to observe enzyme activity during the experiment. Five starch-agar

Suzuki‚ Laurent Santos‚ Val Justin D.M. Tongco* College of Science‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila Philippines Abstract Salivary amylase‚ found in humans‚ is enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into simpler compounds. Its enzymatic activity is affected by several factors‚ such as temperature and pH. The rates of enzymatic activity of salivary amylase in different temperatures and pH were measured and resulted to be very near 50 C and 7 respectively. However‚ due to some errors

Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to check the time needed for salivary amylase and phosphorylase to produce a negative result and how different concentrations affected those times. Enzymes are biological catalysts that can cause a specific chemical change in any part of the body (Walsh‚ 2002). Many of the reactions that take place within a cell would normally take place at temperatures substantially higher than those present inside a cell (Alberts et al.‚ 2010). Because of this‚ these chemical

Professor Theresa Sterner Bio Lab 105 04 November 2013 The Effects Environmental Temperature and pH have on the Activity of Porcine Pancreatic Amylase Introduction There are many types of enzymes and each has a specific job. Enzymes are particular types of proteins that help to speed up some reactions‚ such as reactants going to products. One of them is the amylase enzyme. Amylases are found in saliva‚ and pancreatic secretions of the small intestine. The function of amylase is to break down big molecules
Premium PH Enzyme Amylase
The role of salivary amylase in the digestion of starches remains controversial. In the absence of pancreatic amylase‚ the key enzyme for starch digestion‚ salivary amylase may well represent a potential compensatory alternate pathway for the digestion of amylose‚ amylopectin‚ and glycogen. Clinically significant depression of pancreatic amylase occurs in chronic pancreatitis‚ pancreatic resection‚ pancreatic neoplasm‚ cystic fibrosis‚ and other causes of pancreatic insufficiency. Quantitation
Premium Starch Digestion Enzyme
Introduction In the amylase lab‚ it was being tested if amylase‚ an enzyme found in saliva‚ would be denatured by being put in an acid or high temperatures. This lab is about denaturing amylase. It is tested by exposing it to pH and temperature changes. It is then mixed with Benedict’s solution‚ is a solution that changes color from blue to reddish brown when maltose is present. Amylase breaks starch into maltose‚ so is the amylase isn’t denatured‚ it should change colors. Amylase is an enzyme.

Enzymatic Activity of Salivary Amylase Abstract: Salivary amylase is an enzyme that can digest starch molecules and break them down to sugar molecules. In this experiment‚ the enzymatic activity and specificity of salivary amylase was examined depending on the changes in pH and temperature. In the first part of the experiment‚ the effect of temperature was determined‚ using constant temperature bath (4‚ room temp‚ 37‚ 50‚ 60‚ and 70°C). Having the room temp and 50°C as the highest and 37°C as infinite
