An iodine solution turns a purplish-black if it comes into contact with the presence of a starch molecule. This reaction can take place at very minute concentrations of starch.
theory of starch test kit?
Starch doesn't react in the Benedict test.
Starch has high affinity for Iodine and in presence of iodine crystals starch turns blue from being colourless. This the fundamental that is used for chemically identifying the starch.
The iodine test is applicable.
I have no idea if it invalidates the test. If the test is done properly, the results are the results. And you have your prescription history if that will help to explain or partially explain the test results.
explain why the iodine test gave such results upon prolonged heating
The alcohol is not heated in starch test because it's flameable,so will cause fire or disrupt the experiment.so results would be incorrect or not accurate.
To test for starch you could use the Starch Test:Starch Test: Add Iodine-KI reagent to a solution or directly on a potato or other materials such as bread, crackers, or flour. A blue-black color results if starch is present. If starch amylose is not present, then the color will stay orange or yellow. Starch amylopectin does not give the color, nor does cellulose, nor do disaccharides such as sucrose in sugar.if starch is present it will turn blue/purple

Iodine test is a test used to determine the presence of starch in a particular substance.A positive result will yield a black color.For example, adding a few drops of iodine solution to potato will stain the amylocytes black since these are the starch-containing structures of potatoes as seen in a microscope.

You can test for starch in food by dropping iodine on food on an agar plate, if it turns black, it contains starch.

I think you mean starch and to test for it you have to use iodine and this turns black if there is starch in your food if nothing happens then there is no starch in the food.
The test is positive with starch because the iodine takes up a position in the centre of the starch helix which is blue black.
