What is the chemical indicator for starch and what color does starch turn in its presence?

the chemical indicator used is iodine and starch turns in dark blue colour ARE U HAPPIEE WID MA ANSWER ? THANKU


What materials will you need to test for starch?

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.


How can you test a substance to see if its water?

What is the enzyme that digests starch? Amylase digests starch into the disaccharide, maltose. What is the starch test? Grind the food up and add a few drops of iodine to the substance. If it contains starch then it will turn blue, black What colour dose the tests turn in the presence of starch? For the starch iodine test is performed in which the starch reacts with iodine to produce dark blue colour which confirms the presence of starch. for glucose benedict's and fehling's test is performed. benedict's test: 1 ml sample is mixed with 1 ml of benedicts solution and the heated upto boiling if the colur changes to brick red then it confirms the presence of glucose fehling's test: similarly 1 ml fehling's solution I & fehling's solution II each in taken together and to it 1 ml of the sample is takenon then heated uptill boiling. if the colour changes to brick red the it confirms the presence of glucose. Where is the enzyme found in the body? The enzyme breaks down starch into glucose? Like all enzymes, amylase is a catalyst, so it only speeds up reactions which would happen anyway. However, without the enzyme many reactions would be extremely slow. So starch could break down into glucose in the absence of amylase (provided water was present), but only very slowly.


What observations do you need to expect if starch is present when testing leaf for starch?

It can be observed that when testing for starch their must be a olour change of blue black after iodine solution was added.Before the colour change was green that changed to blue black of the whole procedure is been carried out.


What happens if you add iodine drops to a non-starch?

If you add iodine to starch the start will turn to a dark color blue/blk because of the enzyne Amylase (in starch), so if it is non starch there will not be a reaction and it will be clear.

Does white bread turn to sugar after you eat it?

White bread is mainly the carbohydrate starch. When starch enters the body it is digested by enzymes. It is firstly broken down by amylase which turns the starch into maltose (note: if you hold bread in your mouth for a while it goes sweet). The maltose is broken down by maltase into glucose which can then be used for respiration but if it isn't then it turns to fat.

Does a starch affect a diabetic the same as sugar?

Yes because Starch is carbs. Carbs turn to sugar in the body to be used for energy. Once this happens, Your blood sugar will raise. So starch and sugar areeee the same thing. They're just broken down differently.
