Decent Essays
The enzyme (Sternzym VC 5000) was obtained from SternEnzym company.

Sternzym VC 5000 contains a pure fungal α-amylase without detrimental side activities. The enzyme has a standardized activity providing constant properties, and its fine granulation ensures an uniform distribution in flour, dry premixes or dough [32].

The activity of this fungal α-amylase is 5,000 SKB/g with optimum temperature range from 30 ℃ to 55 ℃ and optimum pH value range from 4 to 6.5. Being a activity unit for enzyme, the unit (SKB/g) is defined as 1 g substrate (starch) can be hydrolyzed by 1 g α-amylase within 1 hour.

Sternzym VC 5000 is extensively utilized in food industry owning to its applicability almost in all types of yeast-raised goods like bread, rolls

    Abstract: Amylase in the body is used to break down polysaccharides into monosaccharides. The monosaccharides are simple sugars that are used to give the body energy. This effect was investigated in an experiment designed to show the breaking down of starch solution. A water bath was used to heat water up to 60oc. Pieces of dialysis tubing were wet and had starch solution put inside.…

    In most cases, a chemical reaction is able to occur in more than one way; enzyme kinetics studies the effect of how biological catalysts can influence biochemical reactions. Enzymes play an important role in regulating metabolic pathways in the human body and without enzymes they will not function efficiently. The rate of a reaction is enhanced by enzyme activity which provides alternate pathways for the reaction to proceed by.…

    Discussion: The specific purpose for this study was to see how enzyme activity would change as there was a change in temperature and pH. Both temperature and pH were hypothesized to have an affect on enzyme activity. Each had an optimal temperature. At this point, the rate of enzyme activity would stop increasing and begin to decrease. For temperature, it was hypothesized that the optimal temperature would be 48°C.…

    The purpose of conducting this experiment was to explore how different factors affect the reaction rate of enzymes reacting with their corresponding substrates in order to learn more about how enzymes function in different environments. The independent variables investigated in this experiment were the concentration of different substrates, the temperature of the environment, and the effect of a catalyst on the reaction rate. The dependent variable for all of the investigations was the time it took for the reaction to occur. To investigate the effect of the concentration of the substrate on the reaction time, four test tubes were used.…

    Identification of unknown organisms is useful in a wide variety of settings; from clinical diagnostics to environmental monitoring (1). Species of bacteria can differ fundamentally in aspects ranging from morphology to metabolism. Exploiting these differences can allow for identification of unknown organisms. Gross morphological characterizations are crude, and better replaced by more accurate and specific tests. At a fundamental level, tests such as the Gram stain divide bacteria in to two broad categories based on the characteristics of their cell wall (2).…

    However, when the substrate concentration was increased, the intensity of color stopped increasing due to the enzymes being unable to to process at a faster rate. All of the alternate hypothesizes were supported; in the experiments, section one (with Figure 1) had an optimal temperature at approximately 24°C; section two (with Figure 2) had an optimal pH at approximately pH8; in section 3 (with Figure 3) the color continued to increase with the addition of more enzymes; and in section 4 (with Figure 4) the color continued to increase until it reached a maximum velocity with the addition of more substrates. One desired retrial for the experiment would be to test for more points after 20 drops of potato juice in Figure 3. Understanding the effects of how these properties alter the ability of the catecholase enzyme could allow for better insight into decreasing time needed for biochemical reactions, proper food storage, and the condition of…

    Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an oxidoreductase found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. LDH catalyses the formation of lactate and NAD+ from pyruvate and NADH, during the last step of anaerobic glycolysis. The reaction is also catalysed in the other direction by LDH during the Cori cycle. This reaction can be assayed using spectrophotometric techniques; peak absorbance of NADH is at 340nm, but the peak absorbance of NAD+ is 259nm (Powers, et al., 2007). Enzyme assays are performed to measure the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction, known as the enzyme activity.…

    INTRODUCTION Cellular respiration is the breaking down of organic molecules by means of catabolic pathways that uses electron transport chain to produce ATP (Campbell 2011). ATP is used as energy in the synthesis of light or also known as Photosynthesis . ATP is used by photosynthetic organisms to produce their own food and also by performing cellular respiration. It needs mainly glucose and oxygen that involves the transfer of electrons in a chemical reaction.…

    Introduction: Enzymes have a huge effect on the human body and other organisms. Enzymes are catalysts that are used to accelerate the reaction process by lowering the activation energy. For this experiment the catechol oxidase was extracted from potatoes. The enzyme is called catechol oxidase because the oxygen is reacting to catechol. Catechol oxidase causes the browning of the fruits and vegetables because the compound is toxic to the bacteria.…

    Again, there was not a difference in tubes four and five in foam height. My conclusion is that when you have hydrogen periodic and potato juice the lower the temperature, the higher the catalase reaction will be. Because test tube two was not far behind test tube one when it came to foam height, this study raises the question of whether there might be an optimum temperature in enzyme activity. On the basis of the results of this study, the hypothesis presented can be taken in to account, and be accepted. Additional experimentation with different temperatures is suggested.…
