An iodine test is used to test for the presence of starch (or polysaccharides, specifically amylose or amylopectin). A Biuret solution test is used as an indicator for peptide bonds within proteins. Therefore, if you get a negative iodine test and a positive Biuret test, you would probably be testing a animal food source (beef, chicken, pork).
