They test for carbohydrates. The Iodine reagent tests for starch. The Benedict's reagent tests for small sugars. Most carbohydrates are are made of sugar, and starch is a type of carbohydrate.
Potassium Iodine (KI)
(Wagner's reagent is used to test for alkaloids). To prepare Wagner's reagent; Dissolve 2g of iodine and 6g of KI in 100ml of water. -Atolani Olubunmi, Nigeria
It means starch is no longer present; it is broken down by amylase into simple sugars in the saliva.
You are not supposed to use buret reagent to detect sugar carbohydrates in a solution. Buret reagent is used to detect proteins. Try using iodine ( I2KI)
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.

The simplest test is the iodine test.
iodine in potassium iodide
Potassium Iodine (KI)
Starch is not the indicator. Iodine is the indicator of starch.

Iodine test is a procedure that tells whether a certain element or the such contains starch (or sugar) in it.In this test, we add iodine solution (with, possibly, KI reagent) to a material [in your case, sugar]. If starch ispresent, a blue-black, somehow purple, color will result, changing the initial color of iodine. If starch amylase (sugar) is NOT present, the color will remain orange/yellowish.
what kind of bio molecule is this when mix with a benedicts reagent and biuret reagent

Tincture of iodine is a mixture of iodine dissolved in a potassium iodide solution. Iodine is the pure compound. At room temperate, iodine is quite unstable and tends to sublime. The tincture of iodine KI3 is used to stabilize iodine in certain experiments and as a reagent.
