is just a brand name for Povidone-iodine. This substance was made in 1955 for a wide variety of medical uses. Here are just a few: Doctors scrub their hands with it before surgery‚ it is used as eye drops and throat rinses‚ it is applied on the skin before general surgery and even used in homes for cuts and scrapes. All of these uses have to do with disinfecting the skin‚ which is what Povidone-iodine does best. Although‚ the amount of concentrated Povidone-iodine changes depending on the use. For

Tiltle: What was happened to the bananas? Objective: To compare the amount of reducing sugars and starch in yellow and green bananas. Introduction: Bananas are green in colour and taste flat but after they are harvested and stored for some days‚ they will turn yellow from green and become sweet. Hypothesis: The green banana tasted plain because it contained large amount of starch‚ while the yellow banana tasted sweet since it contained large amount of reducing sugars. Biological principles:

Small samples of acetaminophen‚ acetylsalicylic acid‚ cellulose‚ starch‚ and caffeine were obtained. These samples were then placed into seperate sets of test tubes that contained water‚ acetone‚ or dichloroethane. Solubilities were then tested for each sample in each solution which can be seen in Table 5. Next‚ four random pills were obtained and weights were taken of each. Each of the pills were grinded up using a separate mortar and pestle. The grinded up pills were then weighed. The grinded

encountered‚ but still knowledge on how fast these occur and the factors affecting it were still insufficient. This study aimed to determine the different factors affecting the rate of reaction and how these factors affected it. An experiment named iodine clock reaction was done to answer the questions raised. In this study the reaction of iodide ion and peroxodisulfate (VI) ion was analyzed with the help of thiocyanate ion. The experiment was divided into three parts. First‚ second‚ and third parts

Review Application and research progress of starch in polymer materials★ Wang Zhi-fen‚ Fang Lin‚ Zhang Ke-xi‚ Fu Xin Abstract: Starch a natural polymer that is characterized by cheap‚ regenerative‚ and good biodegradation is generally mixed with low density polyethylene‚ high density polyethylene‚ polypropylene‚ and polystryrene to prepare degradable materials. In order to relieve "white pollution" due to undegradability of plastic materials‚ starch is mixed with polyvinyl alcohol‚ polylactic acid

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

Testing for reducing sugars‚ 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

CASSAVA STARCH AS A MAJOR COMPONENT IN MAKING BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC ABSTRACT The purpose of this experiment is to be able to help the society with its environmental issues by creating biodegradable plastic out of cassava starch. The procedures that the researchers used in this investigatory project were all experimental and were based on Scientific Method. The researchers used environment-friendly materials which can be made into biodegradable plastics that will not harm the environment
