Amylase Investigation Aim Industries today rely on enzymes because they can make processes more profitable. Enzymes are biodegradable proteins that make production processes more efficient and cost-effective, resulting in higher quality products. Enzymes are the key to a sustainable future as they help protect the environment by reducing waste and the need for harsh chemicals. Our bodies also produce enzymes for example fighting diseases, growth and digestion. Therefore, in order to understand what to do when reactions in our bodies are not working very well or to make industries as efficient as possible, we need to know about the conditions enzymes work best in. This investigation deals with looking at which temperature the enzyme Amylase digests starch at the fastest. It investigates the effect of temperature on the breakdown of starch by amylase, and finding the optimum temperature for the reaction. Background Information Enzymes Enzymes, are any one of many specialized organic substances,...
