Introduction
The first enzyme that was produced industrially is amylase from a fungal source in 1894, it was used to treat digestive disorder. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into sugar and starts the process of chemical digestion in human salvia. Starch breakdown of amylase has received a great deal of attention because of their technological significance and economic benefits, and is also used for the commercial production of glucose. In storage tissues such as seeds, starch a polysaccharide of glucose is a hydrolyzing for utilization by the growing seedlings to meet its energy requirement. In storage tissues like seeds, the starch of a glucose is a hydrolyzing for utilization by the growing seedlings to meet its energy requirement. They also have potential in a number of industrial processes such as in food, baking brewing, detergent, textile and paper industries. With new frontiers in biotechnology, the spectrum of amylase application has expanded into many other fields such as clinical, medical and analytical chemistry. (Saranraj and Stella, 2013) As the temperature increases, so does the rate of reaction. A very high temperatures will denature enzymes. The enzyme activity gradually increases with temperature …show more content…
(Trubl, 2016) I hypothesize that the temperature above 35C will have a higher starch concentration. My prediction is that enzymes will not work in cold temperatures, will start to denature in room temperature, and actually work in high temperatures. I hypothesize is that any pH outside the range of 7-7.3 would denature the enzymes. My predictions is that the enzymes will denature in the most acidic solution, but in a basic solution it will
