deep0199 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Quick Question How could I determine the presence of carbohydrates, proteins, pectin, and lipids and fats by using the enzymes amylase, pepsin, pectinase, and lipase? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 simply measure the amounts of these substances after introducing them to the respective enzymes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Couple the enzyme reaction with another that produces something that a spectro will pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyebeh Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 yeah... like skye said, use a photospectrometer and some substance or another that will react with the molecules you listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
