Slight Decrease of the enzyme will favor the B-amylase, while allowing the a-amylase, amylopectin breakdown, it will increase the fermentability, for the reason of maltose breaking down.
Hypothesis: Slight Decrease of temperature during the mashing in the brewing process will affect the enzyme activity and the alcohol production compared to the control experiment. The enzymes will favor the b-amylase, as it allows some of a-amylase to breakdown. This will increase the fermentability. The Fermentation will increase as the percent of Alcohol by weight increase as well. The mM Reducing Sugars in the 0 minutes sample will remain at equilibrium and for the 50-minute samples, it will increase and go up. Although, the Post Fermentation Percent of …show more content…
In calculating the amount of the Reducing Carbohydrates in the process mashing, and at the end of mashing, was the number of the reducing ends of the amount of carbohydrates that were present in the brewing. In the beginning of mashing, the number of the reducing ends that was associated with the amylose and the amylopectin extracted from the barley grains. After the mashing process, the number increased in every enzymatic cut of the starch, as one of the reducing ends would be let go. As shown the 0-minute maker of the mash sample time was about the same, as the Control was 484.325 and the experimental 759.429. The standard Deviation (error bars) for the control was 182.224 and experimental was 73.433. As time was increased, to the 50-minute marker, the mM Reducing Carbohydrates increased, as at 50 minutes, the control was 4151.086 and the Experimental was 6352.677. The Standard Deviation at the 50-minute mark, for the control 864.812 and the experimental was 192.970. The experimental shows more of mM reducing Carbohydrate than the control …show more content…
The enzymes will favor the b-amylase, as it allows some of a-amylase to breakdown. This will increase the fermentability. The Fermentation will increase as the percent of alcohol by weight increase as well. The mM Reducing Sugars in the 0 minutes sample will remain at equilibrium and for the 50-minute samples, it will increase and go up. Although, the Post Fermentation Percent of the carbohydrate Remaining will have more of a decrease than the control. As the temperature is slightly decreased, it favors the beta-amylase. The experimental sample would increase the % of the alcohol by the weight, as the Temperature is slightly decrease of the conditions in the process, it favors the B-amylase. The fermentability increases in the % of the Reducing carbohydrate that remains after the fermentation. For the reason of, after the fermentation, the number of the reducing ends would lower as the yeast is being broken down and eating the starches for energy. The yeast breaks down the simple sugars in producing energy, as it results in alcohol, the beta-amylase is favored with the slight decrease of temperature, the experimental sample is more than the control at both 0 minute and the 50-minute Mash sample time. The slight decrease in the temperature

Shake well and allow the amylase to dissolve before proceeding. Discard any distilled water remaining in the beaker. Store the alpha-amylase dropper bottle solution in a refrigerator when not in use to reduce the rate of bacterial degradation. (Vorndam, 2002, p. 97-98) Calculation example for preparing a 1% solution: 0.10 g alpha-amylase powder is ~ equivalent to 0.10 mL when mixed in water, so 0.10 mL ÷ 10 mL x 100 = 1%. (Vorndam…
