Starch experiment, observation of solubility and viscosity of water containing starch by temperature
과학/일반생물학 실험 2020. 8. 16. 17:39This experimental report is an observation of the solubility and viscosity of water containing starch by temperature.
1.Title: Observation of solubility and viscosity of water containing starch by temperature
2. Introduction:
Starch is a mixture of amylose and amylopectin as a polysaccharide formed by connecting a number of glucose (D-glucose) to a condensation reaction.
In addition, it is a representative plant storage carbohydrate, and starch particles are many with each other and form regular hydrogen bonds, and this structure is called a crystalline structure.
Because it is a crystalline structure, it is very difficult for moisture to penetrate, and starch does not dissolve well in cold water.
Molecular motion becomes active during heating, the hydrogen bonds in the starch are cut off, and the water particles penetrate into the gap, increasing the solubility. Observe the changes in solubility and viscosity under these conditions at room temperature, high temperature, and cooling conditions.
3. Materials & Methods:
-Materials:
Distilled water, starch powder (2.5 ~ 5g), beaker, alcohol lamp, tripod, spoon, glass rod
-Methods:
① Put 50ML of water (distilled water) in a beaker and put starch powder (2.5 ~ 5g) through a spoon.
② Observe the solubility and viscosity while stirring with a glass rod at room temperature.
③ To establish the high temperature condition, heat the beaker mixed with starch powder and water using an alcohol lamp and a tripod, and observe the solubility and viscosity while stirring with a glass rod.
④ When all the starch is dissolved in water, stop heating and observe the viscosity change while cooling at room temperature.
4. Result: Remove
5. Discussion:
When the starch was added and mixed in water at room temperature, I observed it according to the brightness of the light. As in figure 1, I could not see in detail with the normal brightness, and when I fired the flash in figure 2 and observed it, I could see the sunken starch particles in detail. Through this, it was possible to feel that the water with starch was not a completely dissolved solution, but a suspension.
The viscosity was observed with a glass rod, but the observation at room temperature was difficult to feel because the starch was not dissolved.
It was difficult to observe the dissolution in water until figures 3, 4 and 5.
This is because the temperature has not yet reached the temperature that can break hydrogen bonds, and from Figure 6, it was observed that the starch breaks hydrogen bonds and dissolves in water.
Figures 7, 8, 9, and 10 were heated to break the hydrogen bonds of starch and dissolve in water, and it was felt that the viscosity at high temperature was slightly higher than at room temperature.
When heated at high temperature, boiling and steam rose, so I could not observe the solution in detail, but when cooled at room temperature, fine bubbles were densely embedded, and the viscosity was higher than at room temperature and high temperature.
From figures 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, it was observed that the number of air bubbles gradually increased. If the experiment was conducted by increasing the concentration of starch, it is thought that a solution with a higher viscosity could be made, and it could be made into a gel or sol state.
