 The reason why I pay attention to hydrolysis

①I think hydrolysis is applied for particle

engineering in Lenggoro laboratory.

②I think hydrolysis does not use bacteria, this

experiment is possible for conducting in our laboratory.

③Fundamentally, I use materials such as food and

water. So I conduct this experiment very easy.

 About the theme for this time
「Reaction kinetics hydrolysis of
Last time methane fermentation changes
because of changing particle size」

The reaction kinetics of hydrolysis relates to the

amount of water content in food.

I will check the water content relates

particle size of the food. 8

①The reaction kinetics of hydrolysis relates to
the amount of water content in food.

How is vegetable
②Food powder have different component but powder have
same particle size is different water content. same component
and different
particle size ?

③Vegetable powder have different

component and different particle size is
different water content.

 My object of research

①I will check a variety of particle size

of vegetable powder have each water
content in the vegetable(Spinach).

②I want to know what is the best way of

measurement of water content in the
vegetable(Spinach).

 In conclusion
①I understood hydrolysis related to water content in the food.
②I decided my theme in B4.
③The way and flow of my experiment is decided.

future plan
①I will conduct this experiment.
②I will cut and crash vegetable(spinach) in five size.
And analyze them by light microscope.
③I will examine what is the best way of measurement of
water content in the vegetable(spinach).
