Saliva contains enzymes which catalyse the breakdown of starch to maltose and dextrin. If starch solution is treated with saliva, these simpler sugars will soon start to form, which means the mixture will give the Benedict's test.
Enzymes in saliva, predominantly amylase, break down the starch.
Yellowish brown.
With 2ml of starch solution 2ml of saturated ammonium sulphate solution is added. Formation of gelatinous precipitate gives confirmation of presence of starch
Benedicts tests for the presence of monosaccharides. It will turn a yellow to red color if it is a positive test, but it does not so starch does not contain monosaccharides. ...Actually..... If starch is heated at 250 degrees Celsius, it breaks down into sugar! a saccharide! The intense heat denatures the the starch and transforms it into sugar. Also, if you have starch and amylase ( enzyme found in your saliva) and heat that to 37 degrees Celsius, you will also get a sugar, but in the form of glucose!
The solution turns purple.
The color of starch after iodine has been added is deep blue to black.
starch
when starch indicator is added, the solution turns from dark blue-black to colourless.
Yellowish brown.

The solution turns purple.
When added to starch, the solution turns dark blue or black.
it will change into blue black colours.
A deep blue colour
It causes the reaction to speed up showing more simple sugar in a solution, faster than just letting it sit.
It forms covalent composition.
