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.

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.
