What are the food tests for starch?
Iodine turns blue in the presence of starch.
How can you test for presence of starch in Food items?
To identify the presence of starch in Food items; Iodine Test: (specific for starch) Principle: When boiled with water starch molecules form dispersion surfaces having affinity for Iodine molecules. When added, iodine molecules get adsorbed on starch grains producing intense blue colour. Reagent: 1) Iodine solution(2 grams of 12 dissolved in 6% KI) 2) 1% starch solution (Dissolve 1 gram of starch in 100mL of boiling water). Procedure: Take 2mL of food extract or 2mL of starch solution in a test tube and add a few drops of iodine solution to it. Note the change in colour. Result: If a blue black develops then starch is present. Colour due to adsorption.
