Starch is composed of amylose and amylopectin, and is not soluble in water due to the presence of amylopectinIodine (I₂) is somewhat soluble in water, but is more soluble in iodide (I⁻) solutions, such as potassium iodide solution (KI).Aqueous iodine molecules (I₂) and iodide ions (I⁻) together will form triiodide ions (I₃⁻), which can react with amylose found in starch to produce a deep-blue colour in the solution. So all of iodide (I⁻), iodine (I₂) and amylose (or starch) are required together to produce the colour.This can be used to test for:Amylose/Starch: Add iodine dissolved in potassium iodide solution to test solution, orIodine: Add starch and potassium iodide solutions to test solution.If the substance being tested for is present, then triiodide ions (I₃⁻) can react with amylose (in starch) to produce a deep-blue colour, that is, a positive result.
because it dosent
Iodine does not react with sugar, it reacts with starch.
Because starch forms a dark blue colored soluble product with free iodine, so that the appearance of color in the solution from this reaction effectively shows when all the substances in the solution that react more strongly with iodine than does starch have been consumed and the titration is finished.
Iodine will will not react with hydroelectric acid
Any reaction; iodine is used to test the contamination with starch.

Any reaction would be too miniscule to notice.
Iodine (a halogen) forms a starch-iodine complex by binding with amylose coils, which results in a transfer of charge between amylose and iodine, changing the energy levels of iodine atoms, and producing a dark blue color.
KI is potassium iodide, you'd react it with something to produce iodine ions. It reacts as reducing agent

then starch is not present...
To detect starch hydrolysis on a starch agar plate, you can add iodine solution. Iodine reacts with starch to form a blue-black color, and if starch is hydrolyzed by the organism, the clear zone around the bacterial growth will indicate the presence of amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch.
