Biuret reagent is used to test for protein in urine. It is a common test that students in biology class perform. Urine is added to a test tube, followed by approximately the same amount of Biuret reagent. If the solution turns lavender this means that there are proteins present in the urine.
When being tested with biuret reagent, protein turns a blue to lilac color. However, starches when tested do change to a blackish blue color.
The water turns a pale blue. In other words stating that it doesnt contain protein
If the color is blue, it means that protein is present, if it turns orange, protein is not present.
To test starch: To test starch you take the food sample, and add iodine solution if the colour turns black this means starch is present. To test for protein: To test for protein, you take the food sample and add Biuret A and Biuret B and shake, if the colour turns lilac this means that protein is present.
food that has protein like milk will cause the Biuret solution to turn purple.

Biuret solution turns a shade of purple if proteins are present. Specifically, it turns a shade of purple if peptide bonds are present. A peptide bond is the bond formed between amino acids.
water turns blue

Biuret reagent react with the skin proteins.
The reagent that is used to test for starch is a mixture of iodine and potassium iodide in water, or an Iodine - KI reagent. If the reagent turns blue-black in color, then starch is present.
process that release energy by breaking down food molecules in the presence of oxygen
The water turns a pale blue. In other words stating that it doesnt contain protein
If the color is blue, it means that protein is present, if it turns orange, protein is not present.
The reagent turns pink due to the presence of broken amino acid chains of the albumin, a source of protein.
The biuret solution used in the biuret test for peptide bonds is blue in the absence of peptide bonds or biuret which also results in a positive result. A positive result for peptide bonds or biuret is apparent as the biuret solution turns purple/violet in color.
