How do you test for each type of organic molecule in foods?
The Qualitative tests for each of the macronutrients are as follows: Carbohydrates - Iodine test and/or Benedicts test Proteins - Biuret test Fats - Ethanol (Emulsion) test
Where do you get proteins from foods?
Proteins are in meat and various vegetables.
How can you test a food to find out if it contains material derived from a genetically modified organism?
This can be done many ways. One is using an antibody-based test such as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which can detect the proteins that are produced by GM crops. However, the ELISA is not useful for testing foods that is highly processed, because the proteins most likely destroyed & different GM foods produce different proteins. Another way is to use polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to look at the DNA sequence common in GM foods. DNA is more resistant than proteins in processing & can be extracted from heavy processed foods. It is the GMO DNA sequences that's being looked for & tested.
How many proteins are there?
Proteins are molecules that feed living organisms. There are about twenty different kinds of proteins. Proteins are found in foods.
What is the name of the test for proteins?
The biuret test
Which foods are phosphates found in?
Protein foods--proteins all contain phosphorus.
What foods do plants make?
starch and proteins
What test show hydrolysis of proteins?
benedicts test
What are some foods that provide proteins?
All unrefined foods provide proteins, including leafy green vegetables, tubers, grains, legumes, and nuts.
The million's test is specific test for?
A test for detecting the presence of proteins.
How can animal proteins be extended?
Animal proteins are extended by being combined with carbohydrate foods and proteins that have spare proteins. This process is called protein sparing.
What enzymes are responsible for hydrolyzing the proteins in foods?
Proteases
