Introduction
Every health book insists on the chewing of food. The act of
chewing stimulates the excretion of saliva. Saliva mixes up
with the food and helps its digestion. That is, the enzyme
ptyalin or amylase present in human saliva hydrolyzes the
big molecules of food into many molecules.

Apparatus Required
The requirements for experiment of chemistry project report
Are as follow:
1. Test tubes
2. Test tube stand
3. One dropper
4. Beaker
5. Stop watch
6. Starch
7. Iodine solution
8. Thermometer
9. Dilute HCl solution
10. Dilute NaOH solution

c.
d. Repeat this test after every one minute taking two
drops of the mixture solution and fresh 1% iodine
solution continue until the test shows no blue colour.
e. Record the time and blue colour intensity.

Experiment 2
Aim:- To study the effect of temperature on the digestion of
starch by saliva.

Conclusion
Temperature affects the digestion of starch by
saliva.

Experiment 3
Aim:- To study the effect of pH on the salivary digestion of
starch.
Procedure for Chemistry Experiment 1 is:
1. Take three test tubes and label these 1,2, and 3.
2. Add 5ml of the starch solution, 2ml of the saliva solution
in each test tube.
3. Now as 2ml of water in test tube number 1 2ml of Dilute
HCl in test tube number 2 and 2ml of Dilute NaOH
solution in test tube number 3 and shake carefully.
4. Keep the three test tubes in water at room temperature
for about 10 minutes.
5. Add 2 drops of the solution of each test tube with 1%
iodine solution and observe the colour change.
Observation
Colour produced (in test
Test tube Solution taken tube) with 1% iodine
solution
1 Starch + saliva + water
2 Starch + saliva +dil. HCl
3 Starch + saliva + dil. NaOH
Conclusion
Hydrolysis of starch by the enzyme does not take place in
the acidic or alkaline medium.
