an energy source (starch is the main source of human calories)‚ a flavouring (simple sugars are usually sweet) and as a functional ingredient (sucrose allows ice cream to be soft in the freezer; xanthan gum thickens a low-fat salad dressing). Carbohydrates are a type of macronutrient found in many foods and beverages. Most carbohydrates are naturally occurring in plant-based foods‚ such as grains. Food manufacturers also add carbohydrates to processed foods in the form of starch or added sugar. As

of the enzyme diastase and investigate its effect on the rate of starch digestion. The rate will be determined by the amount of time it takes to completely digest the powdered starch‚ the complete digestion will be indicated by the color change of the solution by iodine. Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that an increase in enzyme concentration will cause the faster digestion of starch. This means that it will increase the rate of starch digestion. Background information explains that substrates bind

3). Citric acid promoted the collapse of starch granules; however‚ adding excessive citric acid led to the hydrolysis of glucose chains. No decrease in the viscoelasticity was observed for cornstarch pastes by adding acid at 25 °C after gelatinization. KEYWORDS: Cornstarch; viscoelasticity; citric acid; pH INTRODUCTION Starch has been widely used as a thickener‚ stabilizer‚ or gelling ingredient in the food industry. The main constituents of starch are amylose and amylopectin‚ which consist

groups. A chemical test that is sensitive to these groups can be used to identify molecules that are in that class. This lab is broken down into four different sections‚ the Benedict’s test for reducing sugars‚ the iodine test for the presence of starch‚ the Sudan III test for fatty acids‚ and the Biuret test for amino groups present in proteins. The last part of this lab takes an unknown substance and by the four tests‚ determine what the substance is. BENEDICT’S TEST Introduction: Monosaccharides

Alpha amylase is an enzyme that aids in the breakdown of starch and glycogen to form glucose and maltose through the hydrolyses of alpha linked polysaccharides1. Starch is a complex carbon and is the main energy storage material found in plants and some bacteria. It is a major component of food as it supplies plants with energy and carbon. Starch consists of two types of polysaccharides called amylose and amylopectin1.The properties of starch can depend on the number of alpha 1‚4 glycosidic bonds and

drops of starch solution with either fungal or bacterial Amylase exposed to different temperatures were mixed with Iodine. Iodine is a dark blue color in the presence of starch and turns light yellow in its absence. Bacterial Amylase had an optimal temperature of 55°C‚ meaning that starch was broken down the fastest at this temperature. Fungal Amylase showed a slightly lower optimal temperature of 40°C. Bacterial and fungal Amylase at lower temperatures had a slower reaction rate because starch and Amylase

LAB 10: NAME: DaeNia La Rodé DATE: 25TH January‚ 2011. FORM CLASS: L6 3 SUBJECT: Biology TITLE: Enzymes AIM: To investigate the effect of substrate concentration on the enzyme amylase INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are perhaps one of the most important proteins of the human body. Enzymes such as amylase‚ an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates‚ work by means of surface catalysis. In other words‚ the surface of the enzyme enables other molecules to react in a manner they would not be able to without

digests the starch‚ what results would you expect? If the amylase successfully digests the starch‚ I would expect a no color change occur as well as a presence of glucose in the intestine (Dialysis tubing). If the amylase only partly digests the starch‚ what would you expect to happen? If the amylase only partly digests the starch‚ I would expect to see a faint color change as well as a small presence of glucose inside the intestine. If the amylase fails to digest the starch‚ what results
