Limitations of Experimental Design: The major aspect of the experiment was the use of papain (meat tenderizer) as a supplement for stomach acid. The tenderizer actually worked surprisingly well as each trial saw significant losses in mass; and in similar ways to how they would within the human stomach. One aspect that did not work as well however, was the recording of mass following 24 hours. It was at times difficult to separate the meat and water absorbed from the cups in each trial which may
applications such as in detergent manufacturing, in medicine, and food science for many years (Siota and Villa, 2010). The most frequently employed plant proteases are papain, bromelain and ficin, although new proteases with new and more appealing physicochemical properties for industry are still emerging. Plant enzymes (such as papain, bromelain, and ficin) have been extensively used as meat tenderizers. New plant proteases such as actinidin and zingibain and microbial enzyme preparations have been
Headline: Best Enzyme Supplements: How They Keep You Healthy Keywords: Enzymes, indigestion, digestive enzyme, enzyme supplement Page Description: Enzymes play an important role inside the human body and are helpful for treating indigestion. Different types of enzyme supplements are available in the market that are good for the health of patients. Digestive enzyme supplements are beneficial for treating digestive problems but should be consumed in consultation with a physician or a doctor. Text:
DE) was obtained as a solution and used as per manufacturer’s guideline [12.5 µl in 1ml Tris (0.05M, pH 7.4)] (Gamble & Muriana, 2007). The specific protease is undisclosed so we used it at the working strength recommended by the manufacturer. Papain. Papain, Carica papaya (Cat: 5125, EMD Millipore Corp., Billerica, MA) had listed activity of 31850 U/mg and stock solution was prepared by adding 0.31 gram in 10 ml Tris (0.05 M, pH 7.4) i.e. concentration of 1000 KU/ml. Cellulase. Cellulase from Aspergillus
Nutrients that is used in providing better digestion are Papain, a digestion enzyme; activates a faster protein breakdown and clears out the digestive tract. This makes sure all proteins are converted to the body. Diabetes, Arthritis etc. are due to the incomplete protein digestion. This can be prevented by consuming
Chemonucleolysis is a medical procedure that encompassess the dissolving of the gelatinoius material in an intervertebral disk by the injection of an enzyme silicate such as papain and chymopapain. This occurs in between each vertebra lies a disk of cushioning material that keeps the spinal bones from colliding to one another and assimilates some distress to the spine from the movements of the body. Also in the center of the disk is soft, gel like material called the nucleus pulposus which is abbreviated
Discussion: The purpose behind this lab was to find out whether fresh or canned pineapple is best suitable for making jelly. The hypothesis made at the beginning of this lab was that fresh pineapple is better for jelly making since the fresh pineapple contains a protease enzyme called bromelain. Enzymes are known for speeding up biological reactions by breaking substances down or building new substance (SBE Activity, n.d.). The bromelain in the fresh pineapple catalyzes the breakdown of collagen
The Effects of Snails and Elodea in Water on Carbon Dioxide Levels Problem: How does varying the type of organism (plant or animal) in the level affect the level of carbon dioxide? Background: This lab is used to test the effect the respiration rates in plants in animals and how it affects the level of carbon dioxide present in the water. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are gases that are vital to all organisms, whether it is given or released through that organism. Both plants and animals
Intrinsic skin aging results from the normal chronological processes that affects all organs during aging and is influenced by numerous factors that change during aging such as decreases in hormonal production [42]. It is well established that decreases in hormonal production results in a loss of moisture in aging skin, with concomitant reduction in elasticity, epidermal atrophy, increased collagen degradation and wrinkling of the skin [43 44]. Adult skin progressively thins at a rate that accelerates
Good digestion is the foundation of good health; for instance, one could theoretically eat a perfect diet and take a multivitamin, but if these nutrients aren’t optimally absorbed all that’s left is wasted time. The stomach isn’t just one giant food processor and storage system, when you really think about it, the stomach is also the barrier between the outside world and your internal physiology. Digestive disorders, treatments, causes, etc. is an expansive topic. For the sake of time, I am going
