..mixture reaches achromic point (which means the starch in the amylase reaction mixture has been fully hydrolised whereby amylase is the enzyme that catalyses it), how should I correct the value of amylase activity for any stages?

(Unit of amylase activity: mg of starch hydrolised/unit time/g barley tissue)

  1. Boiling for 10 minutes should have denatured the amylase.

    Did you boil the extract in the absence of starch? (should do).Was the water at 100 degrees C when you put the amylase extract in? (should be).

    You cannot "correct" your values  since something strange happened.
