Why does a cooked rice with Benedict's solution change its color when it is heated?
Benedict Solution is use to check the presence of Saccharides in food by changing the specimen's color like cooked rice when it puts a few drops of Benedict solution it change its color as yellow green. It means there is a presence of sugar in rice. About the Saliva thing, (Benedict Solution+Saliva+Cooked Rice) Saliva breaks the sugar into fragments so it helps the Benedict Solution to find the presence of sugar in rice, So it makes more yellow green than without Saliva one
Is saliva a solution?
Yes, saliva is a solution of hydrochloric acid, water, and other bodily fluids.
Action of saliva in carbohydrate solution?
lysozyme
Why does dogs saliva does not contain amylase?
Because the food that they eat are not cooked
What happened to the starch solution after you have added saliva?
Saliva contains enzymes which catalyse the breakdown of starch to maltose and dextrin. If starch solution is treated with saliva, these simpler sugars will soon start to form, which means the mixture will give the Benedict's test.
Which enzymes are at work during digestion?
During digestion the enzyme in saliva works on cooked food
What happens to starch in a cracker when it react with saliva?
The enzymes in the saliva help break down the starch in the cracker.
What color does saliva turn into with the Benedict's solution?
Benedict's solution changes colors (blue to green to yellow to orange to red) in the presence of "reducing" sugars, which are not normally present in saliva. An interesting experiment, however, is testing table sugar with Benedict's solution. Table sugar is a glucose sugar joined to a fructose sugar, so they cannot react with the Benedict's solution and no color change occurs. Put table sugar in your mouth for a few moments, and then test the saliva. Now the Benedict's solution will react! (The reason: saliva has an enzyme, amylase, which breaks the glucose and fructose apart so that they can react to the Benedict's.)
How do you explain when we add starch solution saliva dilute alkali and did not presence of starch and presence of glucose?
The enzyme amylase in the saliva broke the starch down into glucose.
Which enzyme is found in the saliva and which food type does it act on?
on the amylase solution
What happens to a cracker in a glass with saliva and vinegar?
