The presence of protein.
in biuret test the presence of peptide bonds gives a violet color. but it should be noted that a minimum of two peptide bonds should be present in the protein to get a positive answer to this test.
Benedicts reagent is used to check reducing sugars , it need hat to work and gives red color when positive ,. While biuret reagent is for proteins .there is no need to use heat and gives purple , violet color when positive ..
purple for longer peptides (larger proteins) and pink for shorter ones
Proteins are made of peptide bonds which is the target of reaction for biuret test. It's not truly specific for proteins; biuret itself also gives a positive result (hence the name of the test). However, proteins are fairly common and biuret (and similar peptide-containing compounds) are relatively rare.
The copper atoms of Biuret solution (CuSO4 and KOH) will react with peptide bonds, producing a color change.A deep violet or blue color indicates the presence of proteins and a light pink color indicates the presence of peptides.http://faculty.clintoncc.suny.edu/faculty/michael.gregory/files/bio%20101/bio%20101%20laboratory/chemical%20composition%20of%20cells/chemical%20composition%20of%20cells.htm
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.
If lipids are present, the solution will turn a purple/violet color.

Hey. okay.. the biuret test is a test for peptide bonds. when CuSO4 is added to KOH, an alkaline solution, nitrogen atoms from the peptide bond forms a purple compound with the Cu2+ ions. hope this helps! read it in a text book.
yes Gelatin will have a positive biuret test. this is because it has an amide group which bends over the copper ion giving the colour pink or violet off to the visual eye.

The Biurets test is used to identify if there are proteins present in a substance. The bond between the amino group and the carboxyl acid group on adjacent amino acids in a protein is a peptide bond. When the Biuret reagent (1 percent solution of copper sulfate) is added to a solution containing peptide bonds, the solution turns a violet color. The violet color is a positive test for the presence of protein. The more intense the color, the greater the number of peptide bonds that react. Hence, if it turned purple, then there are proteins, but if it stayed blue, then no proteins are present. Mostly it is used to check for enzymes which are made of proteins.

When the isolated beta amylase enzyme is subjected to the biuret test, you will observe a color change from yellow to blue. This is because the biuret reagent reacts with the peptide bonds in the enzyme, causing a change in color.
Violet is as beautiful as a pink rose/It was as purple as the color violet.
