Starch

indicators to match the unknown solution’s results. It consisted of biuret, iodine and benedict solution. Iodine solution is used to determine if the source had starch or glycogen. If the source had glycogen consisted inside, there would be a reddish-brown precipitation occurring (Daniel Luzon Morris,1946). Iodine can also react with the starch which could potentially create a The colour of the precipitate that forms a purple precipitate…

I.) Introduction The worst feeling for a parent is seeing their child in pain. I discovered this when I was having dinner with a family friend, Ryan, and he told me about when his daughter, Brooke, had a severe allergic reaction to shrimp. He told me about how his family was having a Fourth of July barbecue one year and everything seemed normal. Brooke had just gotten a plate of food, on which was a shrimp kabob. She started eating and after a minute or two, she started wheezing. The…

Purpose The main purpose of this experiment to learn about the organic molecule of the substances that we use daily with the common foods. The organic molecule that we use for this lab are monosaccharides of sugar, protein, starch, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Introduction Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are organized as the ring structures and always compose the carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms that represent by the structure of H2O. The carbohydrates are…

The Iodine test is performed in order to determine the presence of starch in Unknown #1103 by testing its…

flour, gelatin, milk, Iodine, brown bag, honey, cooking oil, potatoes, test tubes, peanut butter, eggs, paper towels, Chem-plate, hot water bath, Biuret's solution, Benedict's solution, chocolate syrup, apple, bread, butter, salad dressing. Test for Starch (1. Place a small quantity of the food in one space of the chemical plate. (2. Put 1-2 drops of iodine in the food. (3. Look to see if the iodine is black. Test for Sugar (4. Put 30 drops of food-water in the test tube. (5. Add Benedict's…

Abstract Amylase is an enzyme that speeds up the conversion rate from starch to glucose. Four test tubes were filled with a starch solution and a different concentration of amylase solution ranging from 0 μL to 1000 μL. The test tubes were then left to soak in a 37°C water bath before having 2 mL of 1 M hydrochloric acid added to a test tube of pure amylase solution. Lugol’s iodine was used to test for the existence of starch in the samples, while Benedict’s reagent detected any broken-down…

Carbohydrate digestion involves the conversion of polysaccharides and disaccharides into their relevant components of monosaccharides. Digestion begins in the mouth, where chewing and biting breaks down carbohydrates physically and chemically. The enzyme salivary amylase combines with food. When the food enters the stomach hydrochloric acid present causes hydrolysis of sucrose to glucose and fructose. The food passes to the duodenum where pancreatic amylase is secreted and has optimum PH, so…

the chemical reactants. 2. Describe the movement of each substance in the dialysis bag and the beaker. The movement of glucose in the dialysis bag was that is crossed the dialysis membrane; therefore, it was found in the beaker solution. The starch solution on the other hand remained in the dialysis bag and was not found in the beaker. 3. Which substance(s) crossed the dialysis membrane? Support your response with data-based evidence. Glucose was the…

the Iodine Test). Starch is made of bonds of amylose which is composed of a “straight chain of alpha glucose that are connected by alpha 1a4 glycosidic bonds” (Carbohydrates Test). With liquid food samples, 5 drops of iodine solution is dropped into the test tube. So, when the presence of starch is detected, the solution changes to a blue-black color because the starch-iodide combination absorbs light at different wavelengths, resulting in a strong purple color (Ophardt, Starch and Iodine).…
