changed over the 41 minutes. According to a study by Eva-Lena et al, 2011 saliva, due its high amylase concentrations, has a near instantaneous reaction which is what was observed on the Phadebas paper strip and what was expected as we knew that it was saliva sample. The known negative sample didn’t cause a colour change at all throughout the experiment as is anticipated as there should have been no amylase to react…

called malting, which involves soaking various grains (barley, wheat, etc.) in water, increasing the moisture content of the kernel. The grains are then able to germinate for approximately five days which activates proteases, β-glucanase, α-amylase, and β-amylase. Starches and proteins are then made available for cellular processes such as glycolysis and fermentation. Germination is then halted via a drying process…

ulcer, cholecystitis (Jarvis, 2012). Pain is described as constant with the presence of nausea and vomiting on occasion. Further testing is required to determine the state of the gallbladder and cystic duct. Testing will include: CBCd, serum Amylase and Lipase, ultrasonography, CT, and hepatoiminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan (Dains, Baumann, & Scheibel, 2012). Ultrasonography or CT: can produce imagines regarding size and flow of blood supply throughout the liver, gallbladder and bile…

Purpose To identify an unknown microorganism by performing a series of biochemical tests on a pure bacterial culture. Materials and Methods 1. One test that was used to discover the identity of the given bacterial culture was the carbohydrate utilization tests. This specific set of tests involved two broths, namely phenol red lactose and phenol red sucrose, and a Durham tube placed upside down in the broth tubes. These broths can be broken down by fermentation processes,…

Digestion is the process of breaking down food by mechanical and enzymatic action in the alimentary canal into substances that can be used by the body. The process of digestion is the way that the body obtains nutrients, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins necessary to maintain life. Carbohydrates are comprised of complex sugars, which the body will convert to simple sugars for use in numerous ways. Fats are comprised of fatty acids and glycerol. Proteins are made up of many types of…

because the bile produced by the liver emulsifies fat and blood glucose remains constant. Nonetheless, when the bile is needed the gallbladder will contract and release the bile. Sodium bicarbonate neutralizes acid chyme from the stomach. Pancreatic amylase which is digestive enzymes digests starch, trypsin digests protein, and lipase digests fat. 5. Describe the location(s) in the digestion tract where each of the major types of nutrients (Carbohydrates, Lipids, and Proteins) are broken down.…

needs for humans, and constitute, therefore, an integral part of a normal diet. Diet affects the integrity of teeth; quantity, pH and composition of saliva; plaque pH. Sugars and other fermentable carbohydrates after being hydrolyzed with salivary amylase provide substrate f or the action of the oral bacteria , which in turn lower plaque and salivary pH. The resultant action is the beginning of teeth demineralization A dynamic and definite association exists between the consumption…

Introduction: A human has thousands and thousands of different proteins, each with a specific structure and function. Along with their diverse functions, they vary in structure, each protein having its own unique three-dimensional shape. Proteins are polymers of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. There are 20 different amino acids to make up all the different proteins on the earth. Each of the amino acids is composed of a central carbon bonded to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino…

1 enzyme Enzymes are biological catalysts. A protein compound Energy can reduce the carbon reaction. Enzymes to accelerate specific types of reactions. And the kind of substance that reacts. 2.1.1 catalysis of enzymes E is a catalyst (enzyme). S is a precursor called chop, nitrates and substance P is a product. E + S ---------------> E S ---------------> E + P. Complexometry 2.1.2 Factors affecting the enzyme. 1) What type of controlled…

Migltol (10) and Voglibases (11) have been extensively studied for their hypoglycemic activity as α-glucosidase inhibitors. Natural inhibitors from dietary plants with α-amylase inhibitory activity could be used as effective therapy inthe management of…
