Hi Everyone,
My First Post.
Just wondering if anyone has a prac which shows amylase digestion?
(But doesn't require the student to use their own saliva.)
Thankyou,
Margaret.

Re: Alternative amylase prac
Saliva - artificial
A solution of 1% diastase (salivary amylase) is a safe substitute for saliva in digestion experiments.
(Make sure that the diastase purchased is free from reducing sugars - click here for suppliers.)
Thanks Eleanor Garrett - Governor Stirling S.H.S. for this info.

Hi Margaret,
If you use the search function and search for amylase you will find some discussion on this from last year.
