What does Iodine test for?
Starch
What does Biuret test for?
Protein
What does Emulsion (ethanol) test for?
Lipids (fats)
What does Benedict test for?
Reducing Sugar/ Glucose (concentration)
Method for Iodine test for starch
- Place food samples on spotting tile
- Number each sample
- Add two drops of iodine solution to each sample
- Record color of solution
-safety: safety goggle + lab coat
Method for Biuret test for Protein
- Place sample food in test tubes and number them
- Add 2 cm^3 (20 drops) of biuret reagent to samples
(if food is dry add 5 drops of distilled water - Record color of reagent
-safety: safety goggles + lab coat
