Which contains more reducing sugars potato juice or onion juice?
Onion
When a non reducing sugar is tested with Benedict's reagent?
Non reducing sugars do not react with Benedict's reagent. After the test, sample without reducing sugars remains the same, blue.When reducing sugars are present in the sample, we can consider four results after the test is completed: a) green, low amount, that is 0.1 to 0.5% of reducing sugars in solution; b) yellow, low amounts of reducing sugars, 0.5 to 1.0%; c) orange, moderate content of reducing sugars, 1.0 to 1.5% of reducing sugars present; and c) brick red, large amount of reducing sugars in solution, 1.5 to 2.0%.
Does starch contain reducing sugars?
The Fehling's and the Benedict's Test are the just two of the many tests conducted in identifying reducing and non-reducing sugars. Reducing sugars like the monosaccharides can reduce cupric hydroxide from the reagents used. This is because the reducing sugars have a free oH group at their anomeric carbon that can cause the reduction of mild oxidizing agents like fehling and Benedict solution.In non reducing sugars this oH is involved in glycosidic bond formation.
What is end product of salivary amylase?
Salivary amylase is found in the mouth and has a pH of 7. It's pH is neutral because, obviously, it is in the mouth and we don't want to have an acid or base in our mouth now do we? It's substrate (or what it acts upon) is usually starches and the products of this action usually contains maltose. Hope this helps! Source: My IB Biology HL class...and my textbook. :D
Why does a potato taste sweeter after you have been chewing it for a while?
maybe because you've been eating sweet potato without knowing? And because the sugars break down in the potato.Answer:Saliva contains salivary amylase (ptyalin). This enzyme breaks down the starch in potatoes into simple sugars like maltose which are sweet. Once converted your taste buds can recognize the sweetness of the sugar.
A reducing medium contains sugars that can be fermented?
agent that absorbs oxygen
Does saliva have amylase in it?
Saliva contains amylase, it begins the breakdown of starch into sugars
Which contains more reducing sugars potato juice or onion juice?
Onion
Why is amylase important?
because it contain certain enzymes which helps in the breaking down of complex sugars into simple sugars
How does starch affects amylase?
Amylase breaks starch down into sugars.
Is amylase safe as a digestive enzyme?
Yes. Amylase is an emzyme that breaks down complex sugars such as starch into simple sugars.
Which digestion amylase causes?
Amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch into sugars.
Is glucose and fructose reducing sugars?
yes, both glucose and fructose are reducing sugars. but the sucrose is non-reducing sugar although it is formed from two reducing sugars.
What will bacteria do with products for starch hydrolysis?
Let me guess, this question is for a lab write up in your microbiology class? When your bacteria, probably Bacillus cereus, act on starch they produce glucose. You have probably already done this lab but the bacteria will ferment the glucose. E.coli does not hydrolyze the starch because it does not produce amylase (which break down the starch into simple sugars).
Where in the body is amylase?
Amylase is an enzyme in the human body that assists with the changing of starch into sugars. It is present in human saliva.
When a non reducing sugar is tested with Benedict's reagent?

What is broken down by saliva?
Saliva contains enzymes; in particular salivary amylase. Salivary amylase breaks down starch down in to simple sugars. More precisely, polysaccharides into maltose (a disaccharide). Saliva also starts the process of fat digestion; as it contains salivary lipases also. Enjoy!
