How would you test to see if catalase could catalyze starch?
Amylase is an enzyme and, like most enzymes, it will denature when exposed to high temperatures. Denature means to lose its shape and an enzyme such as amylase is dependent on its shape to perform its function.

The high RPMs and cause rapid wear and high temperatures. Overall, if it seems to have broken, then it is broken, otherwise it isn't.

Is starch in food bad to eat?
I do not know why the previous answer said it is a high calorie product that gets turned to sugar when digested. Everything you eat gets broken down into simple sugars, everything. Starch is not bad for your body; considered a carbohydrate, it has just as much calories per gram as protein, and itself is not any higher in calories than any other carbohydrate out there. The only drawback are people who actually need to worry about their blood glucose levels; some starch is quickly broken down resulting in higher levels, however other starches are either slowly broken down, or not broken down at all until it passes into your large intestine where it can be broken down there, in which case the nutritional aspect goes out of the window.
