An example of hydrolysis is when a chemical compound is broken down when reacted with water which is added to cause this reaction.
In organic chemistry it is the reverse of a condensation reaction.
The decomposition of organic compounds by interaction with water.
Process of decomposition involving splitting of a bond and addition of the elements of water.

What are the degradation products of enzymatic hydrolysis of starch?
Stages in the hydrolysis of starch: starch -> soluble starch -> amylodextrin -> erythrodextrin -> achrodextrin -> maltose -> glucose
What are the cross-linking fixatives?
Cross-linking fixatives are types of fixatives that are used to quickly halt enzymatic degradation. Formaldehyde, osmium tetroxide, and glutaraldehyde are the most commonly used cross-linking fixatives.
Types of browning reaction?
non enzymatic and enzymatic
What is enzymatic modification of DNA?
Restriction analysis
Process which promotes biological degradation of organic matter in water is called?
matter degradation
What are the products of the enzymatic degradation of hydrogen peroxide by catalase?
water and oxygen
How is creatine metabolized?
The metabolism of creatine consists of the cyclization of creatine forming creatinine. This process of degradation is spontaneous and non-enzymatic.
Chemical reaction by which starch is split into mono-saccharides?
Hydrolysis. This process uses water to break down molecules such as starch.
Why would a negative iodine test for starch indicate a positive result for the enzymatic degradation of starch by amylase?
Perhaps the iodine solution was old and gave a false negative.
What are the degradation products of enzymatic hydrolysis of starch?

Cross-linking fixatives are types of fixatives that are used to quickly halt enzymatic degradation. Formaldehyde, osmium tetroxide, and glutaraldehyde are the most commonly used cross-linking fixatives.
Types of browning reaction?
non enzymatic and enzymatic
What do a enzymatic protein do?
enzymatic proteins give you metabolic traits.
What is plastic degradation?
Plastic degradation is the degradation of plastic.
What is the meaning of enzymatic?
The word 'enzymatic' means something relates to, is made of or is produced by an enzyme. The word 'enzymatic' can be used as an adjective as well as an adverb.
What are the factors that influence non-enzymatic browning?
factors that influence non enzymatic browning
Enzymatic reactions can be controlled by?
pH. salinity. temperature. hormones.
