1. Effect of Different Temperatures on the Activity of
Salivary Amylase on Starch
Materials Required
Three series of test tubes having iodine solution in each, test
tubes, ice cubes, water, 15 ml 1% starch solution + 3 ml 1%
NaCl, saliva solution, droppers, thermometer, Bunsen burner,
and wire gauze.
Procedure
Take beaker containing 15 ml of 1% starch solution + 3 ml of
1% NaCl solution.
Divide and pour this solution into three test tubes and mark
them as A, B, and C.
Maintain the temperature of the beaker containing ice cubes
at 5°C.
Take a beaker containing ice cubes and keep it on the table.
Take another two beakers containing water and heat over
the Bunsen burner.
Now transfer experimental tube A into a beaker containing
ice.
Transfer the second experimental tube B into a water bath
set at 37°C and the third experimental tube C into the beaker
maintained at 50°C.
Using a dropper, take 1 ml saliva solution and transfer the
solution into test tube A.
Similarly, add 1 ml saliva solution into test tube B and test
tube C.
Immediately, using a dropper, take a few drops from
test tube B and test tube C and transfer the solution into the
second and third series of test tubes having iodine solution.
Note this time as zero-minute reading.
each tube add to the iodine tubes, and note the change in
color of iodine.
Keep on repeating the experiment at an interval of every 2
Results
It takes less time to reach an achromic point at 37°C, as the
enzyme is maximum active at this temperature, while at
higher and lower temperatures more time is taken to reach
the achromic point.

amylase did not act in these tubes. Whereas, the enzyme acted
in the tube with water (i.e., slightly acidic) and digested the
starch.
Conclusion
1] Effect of Different Temperatures on the Activity of Salivary
Amylase on Starch
All enzymes are proteinaceous in nature. At lower
temperatures, the enzyme salivary amylase is deactivated
and at higher temperatures, the enzyme is denaturated.
Therefore, more time will be taken by an enzyme to digest
the starch at lower and higher temperatures. At 37° C, the
enzyme is most active and hence, takes less time to digest
the starch.
