Topic Study of digestion of starch by salivary amylase and effect of ph and temperature on it. Objective The main objective of this project is- 1. The study of digestion of starch. 2. The study of effect of temperature on digestion of starch by saliva. 3. The study of pH on salivary digestion on starch.
Introduction Salivary amylase, also known as ptyalin, is an enzyme that breaks down starch into smaller sugars during digestion. It is a major component of saliva that starts the digestion of starch in the mouth and continues in the stomach. The activity of salivary amylase is most effective at a temperature of 32–37°C. At higher temperatures, the enzyme becomes denatured, and at lower temperatures, it becomes inactive. The optimal pH for salivary amylase enzymatic activity ranges from 6 to 7. Over and below this level, the response rate decreases as the enzymes become denatured . The salivary amylase enzyme is most active at pH 6.8
: MATERIAL REQUIRED Starch solution Saliva Iodine solution Test tube Test tube rack Thermometer Ph paper Water bath Stop watch
:procedure Prepare starch solution Collect saliva Set up test tube with starch solution, saliva and different temperature/ph levels. Add iodine solution to each test tube. Observe colour changes over time. Record observation
: RESULT AND OBSERVATIONS Effect of temperature: Optimal temperature for salivary amylase activity is around 37 C (body temperature). At higher temperatures, the enzyme’s denatures, losing its activity At lower temperature, the enzyme’s activity slow down. Effect of pH : Salivary amylase works best at a slightly alkaline pH(around 6.8). At acidic or highly alkaline, the enzyme’s activity decreases.
: conclusion Salivary amylase is an important enzyme in the digestion of starch. Temperature and pH significantly affect the activity of salivary amylase. Understanding these factors can help us optimize digestion and over health
