Abstract
Chlorides, bromides and iodides, of Li, Na, K, NH4, Mg, Ca and Ba hastened the hydrolysis of starch by pancreatic and salivary amylases. The relative potencies were in the order Cl > Br > I > F. Na, K and NH4 fluorides did not hasten amylolytic action and at higher concns. the 2 latter salts inhibited. Li, NH4, Mg and Ca iodides inhibited amylase activity at higher concns. but accelerated at lower ones. The Ba halides were less potent in their action on amylolytic activity than any other halide investigated.
