Step 1
Set up five water baths at different temperatures, e.g. 0°C, 20°C, 35°C, 55°C, 80°C.

Step 2
Into each of five boiling tubes put 5 ml starch solution and 3 drops iodine solution.

Step 3
Into each of five more boiling tubes put 2 ml amylase solution.

Step 4
Place a pair of boiling tubes into each water bath and leave for 5 minutes.

Step 5
Pour the amylase into the tube of starch solution and gently shake. Repeat for each temperature.

Step 6
Replace the tubes in the water bath and measure the time taken for the blue/black colour to disappear.

Step 7
Test for sugar: add 1ml Benedict’s solution to each boiling tube and heat for 5 minutes.
Prepare as for steps 1 and 2
previously

Step 8
A brick red colour indicates a reducing sugar is present.

Step 9
Repeat the whole experiment with boiled amylase as a control.

Expected result
The enzyme works best at 37OC.
The blue / black colour faded and Benedict’s resulted in a positive
test.
