In our experiment, we sought to find out if different types of sugar mixed with yeast had an impact on the activity levels of the yeast. Research has shown us that different types of sugar would have a noticeable impact because different chemicals would be reacting each time. The equipment/materials needed for this experiment are 8g of yeast along with 2g of each type of sugar used(Domino’s sugar, Brown sugar & Zero calorie sweetener). 8 test tubes were needed and 10 balloons to fit over the test tubes and measure the reaction. 80 milligrams of water heated to 41 degrees celsius was also required. The rest of the materials consisted of, thermometer, electronic balance, hot plates, string, ruler, timer, graduated cylinder, funnel, test
8) One package of active dry yeast was added to the bottle labeled ‘10 mL sugar’ and solution was swirled by rod gently.
In this experiment the four different types of sugar substitutes will be tested with yeast to determine if the type of sugar substitute directly affects the respiration rate of yeast. The four different types of sugar substitutes include Saccharin (Sweet ‘N Low),
PH can affect the way fermentation occurs due to the irregularity of the acidity or alkalinity within the glucose solution. This is an enzyme-based reaction that is susceptible to pH. The aim of this experiment was to determine how pH affects the yeast fermentation rate by performing the experiment numerous times with a different pH of glucose solution which included pH 3, 5, 7, 9, 11. The hypothesis was ‘If the pH is lower than the neutral point then the fermentation reaction will occur faster?’ The experiment conducted was to measure the amount of C02 produced by the yeast going into fermentation, however varying the pH of glucose solution by using different pHs . To test this every 5 minutes the volume of gas in the test tube was observed and recorded until a period of 30 minutes had been. The end results
Hydrate the yeast packets in a beaker with 400 mL of distilled water at a 10% concentration. In a 50 mL
Abstract: This lab’s purpose was to see how different levels of yeast, distilled water, and sugar interact to affect the level of carbon dioxide evolved in fermentation. In this experiment we had two sections. The first section tested four test tubes with varying levels of yeast, glucose and distilled water for evolved carbon dioxide levels. The tubes were timed for 20 minutes. The amounts of solution in the test tubes are noted in the methods section of this lab report. The second section of the lab used three test tubes and flowed the same procedure except added spices. The levels of ingredients are also in the methods section. The main goal of this experiment was to see the effects of yeast concentration.
My partner and I were not directed to change the procedure and did not when completing the experiment. We combined yeast with 5 different carbohydrates: sucrose, fructose, glucose, starch, and saccharin. We also utilized a control substance that only contained yeast culture and water. The procedure started by obtaining the correct materials needed. We then filled 6 flasks with water obtained from a water bath. Next was to put 6 ml of the yeast culture into 6 different test tubes. Adding each carbohydrate into its designated test tube individually, we tried to start a new carbohydrate/yeast mixture every 2 minutes. Before adding a carbohydrate to its test tube, we assembled a pipet contraption that consisted of 2 individual pipets connected together by a rubber tube. We drew the yeast mixture into the connected pipets to the zero ml measurement line. Next we folded the rubber tube in half and clamped it to seal the 1st pipet. Our data was collected by measuring the amount of liquid remaining in the pipet every 2 minutes for 30
Investigating the effect of different concentrations of glucose on the percent change in mass of Gummy bears according to their respective colours
3.Measure and add 0.5g, 1.0g, and 1.5g of sucrose into 3 of the test tubes. Do not add sucrose into the 4th test tube because this will be the control. Lightly shake the test tube to mix the contents together.
Using Benedict's testing on our food items, we tested for simple sugars. Six clean test tubes were labeled individually with each testing food item plus one negative control test tube. Solutions of each food item in the quantity of one full dropperful was added to each labeled test tube and one full dropperful of water was added to the control tube.
In this experiment, twelve liquids provided by the lab instructor are to be tested for the presence of reducing sugars, starches, as well as protein. After recording the results, repeated trials are conducted with the
The procedure for this experiment was to first obtain four balloons and blow them up in order to stretch them. Then obtain and fill the four large test tubes each with thirty milliliters of warm forty degrees Celsius water and two grams of dry yeast which was weighed on a scale and scooped out by a spatula. After five milliliters of water, ten percent glucose, fructose or sucrose went into one of the four test tubes. Then parafilm was placed on top of each of the test tubes to seal them and they were swirled activating the yeast through rehydration. After swirling the film was removed and the balloons were tightly placed on the test tubes. Then finally observed the tubes build up of CO2 all the while swirling gently every fifteen minutes, recording observations.
The first having 4 mL DI water, 0 mL yeast suspension, and 3 mL glucose solution. The second had 6 mL DI water, 1 mL yeast suspension, and 0 mL glucose solution. The third tube had 3 mL DI water, 1 mL yeast suspension, and 3 mL glucose solution. The last test tube had 1 mL DI water, 3 mL yeast suspension and 3 mL glucose solution. Then the tubes were put into a water bath to keep them at a constant temperature and every 2 minutes, they were taken out and the foam was measured in millimeters.
Higher levels of solution should produce higher levels of product. The independent variable for the control group data and the experiment data is the yeast concentration. The dependent variable for the control group data and the experiment data is how much oxygen is produced. The Constant for the control group data and the experiment data is time and amount of hydrogen peroxide. The products of the experiment will increase if the levels of reactants increase. Denatured yeast may cause change in the reaction of the experiment. For all trials of the control group, the concentration of yeast is 6ml. For the experiment data, the yeast concentration varies from 8mL, 10 mL, 12 mL, 14 mL, and 16 mL. The temperature may cause change in the reaction of the combination of yeast and hydrogen peroxide
This experiment is answering the question, “How do cinnamon, vanilla, and baking powder affect the rate of fermentation?” Alcoholic fermentation is a process in which pyruvic acid, which comes from sugars such as glucose, and NADH are converted to alcohol, carbon dioxide, and NAD+ by yeast and other organisms. Yeast is a microscopic fungus that allows the process of alcoholic fermentation to occur. When yeast turns sugars into alcohol, it releases CO2, which allows bread to become fluffy and rise when baked. The more sugar that the yeast has to consume, the faster the rate of alcoholic fermentation will occur. The ingredients being tested that have a high amount of sugar will most likely increase the rate of fermentation if there are no other significant factors to consider. Cinnamon contains 0.01 grams of sugar per ¼ teaspoon (https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/260?man=&lfacet=&count=&max=50&qlookup=02010&offset=&sort=default&format=Abridged&reportfmt=other&rptfrm=&ndbno=&nutrient1=&nutrient2=&nutrient3=&subset=&totCount=&measureby=&Qv=1&Q608=1%2F4&Q609=1&Qv=1&Q608=0.25&Q609=1) , vanilla
