Introduction
Every health book insists on the chewing of food. The act of
chewing stimulates the excretion of saliva. Saliva mixes up
with the food and helps its digestion. That is, the enzyme
ptyalin or amylase present in human saliva hydrolyzes the
big molecules of food into many molecules.
For example, starch into mono-saccnaricies maltose and
glucose; proteins into amino acids and fats into fatty acids
and glycerol.
Thus saliva not only helps in digestion of food but also
convert into energy generating substances. Further, enzyme
and their activity are very sensitive to temperature and pH.
Even a slight variation in these two factors, can disturb the
action of enzymes. In other words, digestion of food by
salivary amylase is also effected by temperature and pH and
can be verified experimentally.
For example, hydrolysis of starch can be verified by testing it
with iodine solution. Starch forms blue coloured complex
with iodine. If no starch is present in a system it will not give
blue colour with iodine.

Experiment 1
Aim.- To study the digestion of starch by saliva
Procedure for Chemistry Experiment 1 is:
1. Collection of Saliva.- Rinse mouth thoroughly with cold
water and ensure that it does not contain any food
particles. Now take about 250ml of lukewarm water in
the mouth and keep for about three minutes so that saliva
mixes up well with it. Spit this into a beaker. Filter, if
there is any suspended impurity clear filtrate is saliva
solution and contains enzyme ptylin.
2. Preparation of starch solution.- Take about 0.5g of starch
in 100ml beaker and add enough water to make a paste.
Dilute the paste by adding 50ml water and boil for about
5 minutes.
3. Digestion of starch:-
a. Take 5ml of the starch solution in a test tube. Add
2m of saliva solution into it. Mix the solution well
by shaking the tube carefully and start a step watch.
b. After one minute, take out two drops of the mixture
solution from the test tube with the help of dropper
and transfer it into another test tube containing
about Iml of 1% iodine solution. Note the colour
produced, if any.

d. Repeat this test after every one minute taking two
drops of the mixture solution and fresh 1% iodine
solution continue until the test shows no blue colour.
e. Record the time and blue colour intensity.
Observation

Blue Blue
Absence of blue colour on addition to iodine solution means
absence of starch in the mixture solution. That is whole of
the starch has got digested or hydrolysed.
Conclusion
Starch gets hydrolysed by salivary amylase

Experiment 2
Aim.- To study the effect of temperature on the digestion of
starch by saliva.
Procedure for Chemistry Experiment 2 ts:
. Take three test tubes and label these 1,2, and 3.
Take 5m of the starch solution, 2ml of the saliva solution
and 5m of water in each test tube. And shake the test
tubes carefully.
. Place test tube number 1 in water at room temperature,
test tube number 2 in a beaker containing water at 50°C
and test tube number 3 in boiling water.
. After 5 minutes, observe the colour change on mixing
two drops of the mixture of every tube with one ml of 1%
iodine solution. Note the intensity of blue coloured form.

Experiment 3
Aim.- To study the effect of pH on the salivary digestion of
starch.
Procedure for Chemistry Experiment 1 is:
. Take three test tubes and label these 1,2, and 3.
2. Add 5m of the starch solution, 2ml of the saliva solution
in each test tube.
3. Now as 2ml of water in test tube number | 2ml of Dilute
HCI in test tube number 2 and 2ml of Dilute NaOH
solution in test tube number 3 and shake carefully.
. Keep the three test tubes in water at room temperature
for about 10 minutes.
. Add 2 drops of the solution of each test tube with 1%
iodine solution and observe the colour change.
Observation

Starch + saliva +dil. HCI Blue colour
Starch + saliva + dil. NaOH Blue colour
Conclusion
Hydrolysis of starch by the enzyme does not take place in
the acidic or alkaline medium.

Precaution
All apparatus should be clean and washed properly.
Add equal drops of iodine in all the samples while
testing for starch.
. Temperature variation affects enzyme activity, so take
the readings at a constant temperature for all the
samples.
Delay in sampling or the reaction time may affect the
result. So, iodine drops must be added at fixed intervals
in all samples.
