Fig. 3. Evolution of the alpha-amylase activity.<br />
This phenomenon can be explained by an incomplete precipitation of the<br />
alpha-amylase in the raw extract and on the other hand by the presence of starch<br />
rests in the raw extract, which influenced the experiment. Analysing the figure, we<br />
observe also that the enzymatic activity of the of the raw extract seems to remain<br />
approximatively at the same value, between 40 and 60 0 C.<br />
