Yes it does. As the concentration of EtOH increases, the ability of amylase to degrade starch lessens. That is, the rate at which starch is decomposed is less in magnitude as the concentration of ethanol increases.

What factors affect the operation of enzymes and why?
Digestive enzymes break down the food we eat into smaller particles. In the mouth, there is salivary amylase which starts the break down of carbohydrates. Next, the stomach has pepsin which starts breaking down proteins. In the small intestine the pancreas releases pancreatic amylase (carbohydrates), trypsin (proteins), and several other important enzymes. Things that may affect the function of these enzymes may be pH and temperature changes. Enzymes can be denatured if they are placed in an unsuitable pH or temperature and therefore are unable to work. Hailey Amstrong
Will letting water-sugar-yeast mixture ferment for long time affect the quantity of ethanol produced?
Letting a water, sugar, and yeast mixture ferment for a long time does not affect the quantity of ethanol produced.
State one other factor apart from temperature that will affect the rate of reaction of amylase?
pH and temperature
What environment factors can affect the activity of an enzyme?
temperature
How can human activity affect skunks?
The human activity called driving a car can cause skunks to die.
Does temperature affect amylase activity?
yes it does
A mutation in the genes for salivary amylase will greatly affect the chemical digestion of what?
Amylase is responsible for the digestion of starches in the body. If a mutation occurred in the genes coding for the production of amylase, this would interfere with the body's ability to digest starches and other complex carbohydrates (which begins in the mouth with enzymes from the salivary glands).
What is the affect of vinegar on salivary amylase?
All enzymes have an optimal pH in which they can function, the addition of vinegar (an acid) will denature the protein in the enzyme, and it will be unable to catalyze a reaction.
How does sodium benzoate affect salivary digestion?
Sodium benzoate, the well known food preservative has no effect whatsoever on salivary digestion because it wont act on amylase the enzyme present in saliva. But it is known for affecting pepsin and trypsin, the intestinal enzymes.
Can ethanol affect A breath test?
can ethanol affect a breath test
How would non secretion of saliva affect the digestion of food?
The non secretion of saliva would affect the digestion of food because the salivary glands secrete more than just saliva.. they secrete enzymes like salivary amylase which breaks down starch into sugar.. and the saliva also holds he food together and makes it easier for the food to move down the food pipe. IF ANY OF THE MT PPL ARE LOOKING AT THIS.. THIS IS SOMEONE FROM XVAC..:)
How enzyme amylase affect starch?
you read this your homosapian
How does NaCl affect the rate at which amylase hydrolyse starch?
It speeds up the reaction so amylase works faster.
How much does ethanol affect gas mileage?
It depends on the percentage of ethanol and the vehicle. My 1994 Chevy K2500 lost about 1 mpg on 11% ethanol.
What factors affect the activity of enzymes?
Enzymes work best in the pH and temperature that they are " designed " for. A pepsin enzyme works best in the low pH environment of the stomach, while amylase works best at mouth temperature and ~ 7 pH. Heat and out of range pH can denature enzymes and not only affect their activity but inactivate them.
How does the amount of ethanol affect crystal growth?
it doesnt
