Effects of Temperature on the action of Diastase on a Starch Suspension. Hypothesis: The practical being carried out is to observe the effects of temperature on starch break down using a synthesized version of salivary amylase, this being Diastase. The starch will be placed into the Diastase and water and then placed in baths of water of different temperatures. The test tube containing water will have little or no reaction at all. However, the test tube containing the Diastase will have several different times to which the starch will break down. Once the Diastase reaches between 30 - 40 degrees Celsius, the time taken for the starch to break down should decrease and be at it's lowest to do so. However, in cold solutions the starch will take longer as it will in temperatures beyond 40 degrees. Once it reaches this point, the break down will either take a very long period...
