L. S. FOSDICK 1 and G. W. RAPP 1

1 Chemistry Department, Northwestern University Dental School, Chicago, Ill.

The effect of pancreatic amylase on acid production has been studied. It was found that pancreatic amylase stimulates acid production.

The ptyalin index of saliva was compared with the rate of acid production in 47 samples of saliva. There was a general trend toward faster acid production in samples with a high ptyalin index, but there were many exceptions to this trend.
