Prediction
My prediction is that the lower the temperature the longer it will take for the two substances to turn a pure yellow indicating the starch has been converted into sugars (glucose).
Scientific reason
Parts of the digestive system produce enzymes which speed up the digestion of food. When the food has been digested it is
