10/02/01 Apple Pulp Investigation Background Information: For this investigation I am going to use the enzyme Pectinase to break down pectin in apple pulp. I am going to investigate how different temperatures will affect the rate at which the enzyme Pectinase works at. I will measure this by collecting the juice in a measuring cylinder, after 5 minutes. There are other factors that will affect the rate at which Pectinase works at; they are concentration and pH. We will be able to tell which temperature has worked the fastest by which one has collected the most juice. The concentration affects the rate. If you have a high concentration of enzymes then there is more enzyme particles to collide with the substrate, and more substrates will be broken down. If there is a low concentration of enzymes then there is less chance of a collision occurring between enzyme and substrate. Thus, higher concentration of Pectinase,...
