That is strange! You: It's boiling temperature… probably the enzyme has been completely deactivated! Prof. Wilson: Exactly! The amylase has been denatured. This is the correct term. You: That makes sense, this temperature is too high for the human body to cope with. I’d like to give it another try Professor. Results: Optimal temperature for amylase activity.
