You're a scientist at the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Nutrient Analysis in Atlanta, Georgia. You analyze food based on the label declaration. Tests are performed for proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. Recently, there has been fear of an attack by a new species of undead (similar to a zombie). Scientists believe that the only way to combat this attack is by feeding them a substance with high levels of complex carbohydrates and protein, since these macromolecules appear to kill the new species' cells. Scientists have also found that the undead seem to thrive and grow rapidly when fed simple sugars. Your team is taking a break from the regular task of food label analysis in order to determine which of three substances - yogurt, milk or oatmeal - will be the best food to fight off the invasion, based on the tests you will be performing today. It is up to you and your team to save Earth!

Does apples have lipids?
No, a test conducted in my biology lab using Sudan IV solution to test for lipids in apples proved negative. Furthermore, the instructor reassured and gave the answer that apples had no lipids present.
What is the principle behind the kraut's test for lipids?
Kraut's test for lipids is a test for glycerol. One of the reagents used in Kraut's test for lipids is bismuth subnitrate
What is Sudan test?
A Sudan Test is a test being developed by scientist.(It mostly involves biology)For your information; Biology is got to do with humans(genes) And animals..edited: 21 November 2009Sudan (III) is used to identify the presence of lipids in liquids, it stains fat cells red.
What is the indicator for lipids?
Sudan red can be used to test for lipids. It is soluble in lipids so it will turn the entire sample red. Also, you can do the brown paper test. Put a few drops of the suspected lipid onto a brown paper bag. If the substance is a lipid, it will turn the spots translucent.
Why in grease spot test the filter paper became translucent?
In grease spot tests, the filter paper becomes translucent because the substance tested contains lipids.

Is Ninhydrin used to test for the presence of lipids?
No, a grease spot test or Sudan IV test can be used to test for lipids. Ninhydrin is used to test for amino acids.
Lipids test on brown paper?
If your asking whats the lipids test then it's: Heating a sample with ethanol, if it's cloudy then it contains high levels of lipids.

What is the test used for identifying lipids?
A number of tests are used to test lipids including Suddan III test , emulsion test , solubility test , soapanification test .
What substance does iodine solution test for?
it is used to find starch
Why in grease spot test the filter paper became translucent?
In grease spot tests, the filter paper becomes translucent because the substance tested contains lipids.
What is the principle behind alkaloidal test?
to find out if the substance is acid or akaline
Importance of Sudan IV?
Like lipids, the chemical Sudan IV is not soluble in water; it is, however, soluble in lipids. Therefore to test for the presence of lipids in a solution you will use a Sudan IV Test. In this test dark red Sudan IV is added to a solution along with ethanol to dissolve any possible lipids. If lipids are present the Sudan IV will stain them reddish-orange, giving a positive test.
