A presentation on maltose standard curve

Solutions

Expert Solution

The standard curve for maltose is usually consstructed using 3,5-Dinitro salicylic acid (DNS) as the reagent.

Maltose reduces the pale yellow colores alkaline DNS to the orange-red colored, 3 amino,5 nitro salicylic acid.

The intensity of the color is proportional to the concentration of maltose present in the solution. This intensity change in color is measured using a calorimeter as the and the absorbance is at 540 nm wavelength. This wavelenght is selected because, it is the region where the orange-red color absorbs.

A series of solutions containing varying concentrations of maltose are prepared in test tubes and a known quantity of DNS is added to each. These test tubes are heated on a water bath for few minutes and their optical densities are measured using a colorimeter.

A graph is then plotted with amount of maltose on X axis and the observed optical density at Y axis. The plot obtained is the standard maltose curve.

Indicators Starch and maltose when dissolved in water are colorless. To determine if starch or maltose are present chemical indicators must be used for the researcher to qualitatively visualize the presence of starch and maltose. The indicators used in this experiment are listed below. IKI (potassium iodide) starch test is an indicator of starch. In a positive IKI test a blue-black color change occurs, even if the blue-black color disappears after the addition of IKI. A negative result is recorded...
