That would probably be referring to iodine.
This is iodine.
Use Iodine as an indicator. Just add it to your sample and the orange-brown colour will turn blue-black in the presence of starch.
Use an iodine solution. it should be orange to brown to begin with, if there is a starch present, it will turn blue-black.
The Starch-Iodide complex is not very soluble in water, so the starch is added near the endpoint of an Iodine titration, when the Iodine concentration is low. This eliminates errors due to the fact that some Iodine may remain adsorbed on the complex and go undetected. so if you add the starch indicator only right near the end point when the solution is a light yellow colour the starch shouldn't complex and go lumpy.
blue-black color indicates the presence of starch
eriochrome black T is an indicator for EDTA titration
Iodine is used to indicate whether starch is present in a solution. If starch IS present, the indicator will turn dark blue/black. Iodine is used to indicate whether starch is present in a solution. If starch IS present, the indicator will turn dark blue/black. FOR WHAT PURPOSE WE USE STARCH-IODINE INDICATOR PAPER
when starch indicator is added, the solution turns from dark blue-black to colourless.
No. Iodine is an indicator of starch which results in a bluish-black color when mixed.
I did this lab experiment in my biology class. When Lugol's indicator is added to glucose, it turns to a dark green colour for starch it turns black and for surcose it turns yellow.
Iodine turns it purple in the presence of starch. :D~PiNkBuN17 Aka Aisha
Use Iodine as an indicator. Just add it to your sample and the orange-brown colour will turn blue-black in the presence of starch.
The starch indicator solution will diffuse out of the bag (cell) into the beaker, changing the color of the starch solution to a blue, purple, or black color (assuming that it's iodine). The color of the indicator solution inside the bag will not change, because only the glucose can diffuse into the bag, but the starch cannot diffuse into the bag.
The iodine produced from the KIO3 reacts with the starch to produce the blue black colour used as the indicator
When iodine is added to starch it turns a blackish color due to a chemical reaction.

When you pore iodine on a piece of bread, the bread will turn black. Why? Because, the iodine has a chemical reaction with the starch in the bread. This method is great to find out if a food contains starch (I suggest a potato to try next!).
Simple(sugar): benedicts solution. Turns bright orange. Complex(starch): iodine turns dark purple/black
