Starch digestion by salivary amylase

Welcome back to the Human Anatomy and Physiology lab! This video describes the protocol that we carry in this lab at USF to investigate the digestion of starch by amylase and to test for the presence of maltose, the end product of this digestion.

This video is for educational use purposes only. I am not a trained health professional and I am not teaching how to perform such protocol outside a classroom through this video. This video is simply a way to show Human A&P students how to perform a few basic experiments to learn about the human digestive system.

If you have any comments that you think can benefit the video and add valuable information, please do not hesitate to share with everyone. But if you have critiques, please keep them for yourself; they are neither useful nor constructive and simply may not apply to the circumstances (I am just demonstrating techniques applicable to an introductory course in Human A&P and I do not pretend to be a certified laboratory technician).
