 Ic.c, Standard Diastase + 5 grams Starch. 
1% Starch +. Standard Diastase. 7 hours. 
1% Starch + Standard Diastase. 5 hours. 
1% Starch + Standard Diastase. 3 hours. 2 cc. 
~ 1% Starch + 1c. c. Standard Diastase. 17_ hrs. 
The numbers above the ordinates represent the number of cubic centimeters of the 
solution tested necessary to completely reduce 2 c.c. of Fehling’s solution ; therefore 
the shorter the heavy line, the greater has been the starch transformation in that par- 
ticular case. : 
The numbers by the abscissae represent percentage of starch, amount of diastase, 
and variation of time, respectively.
