The maltose positive test will have a degree of how positive, it is. That will tell you how much of the starch has been digested.
Starch digestion (hydrolysis) is incomplete
Maltose. Water and Starch mixed with amylase makes maltose
Perhaps the iodine solution was old and gave a false negative.
dextrine and maltose are byproduct of starch when starch is completely hydrolized it gives dextrin and maltose
it is positive for starch hydrolysis
Amylase catalyses starch into maltose.
The main function of maltose is to digest starch . Starch is commonly used in plants to store glucose and maltose will serve as the intermediary product of the digestion of starch.
E.coli does not digest the starch on a starch agar plate, therefore it does not produce amylase making it negative.
Stages in the hydrolysis of starch: starch -> soluble starch -> amylodextrin -> erythrodextrin -> achrodextrin -> maltose -> glucose
no it is negative
When boiled rice is chewed, the salivary amylase of the saliva changes the starch to maltose. Thus it tasted sweet and gave a negative result with iodine.Thanks
