PP158 - Visking tubing model of the gut using starch and amylase
This protocol uses starch and amylase, contained within Visking tubing, to model the action of the gut. It includes both a simplified method, which demonstrates starch digestion and the production of reducing sugars, and a more advanced version that observes the diffusion of digestion products through the tubing.
