How does iodine stain starch?
Starch is composed of polymers of glucose. Long linear chains are called amylose. Amylopectin is similar but contains a branch point about every 25th glucose or so.Amylose coils into a helical secondary structure resembling a tube with a hollow core. Certain molecules including fatty acids and iodine can lodge inside the core. The complex of iodine lodged inside the amylose tube produces a characteristic blue-black color. The starch itself is not altered, and the staining can be reversed.This is a very sensitive method, used industrially in the starch processing industry, to detect starch and starch fragments. Levels down to 10 ppm can be quantitated using a spectrophotometer to measure A620.However, Iodine is a "metachromatic" stain, meaning it is a single stain that can stain different things different colors. For example: Although Amylose in corn starch stains bluish (actually a sort of blue with a reddish-purple tent), Amylopectin type starches stain a completely different color, sort of a reddish-brown. Tapioca starches stain a more true blue color. Additionally, high amylose type starches stain a shade of pink (when viewed using a polarized microscope, with cross-polarizers in place). Therefore, it is a mistake to think that "all starches" stain a bluish color.Additionally, varying the concentration of the stain, relative to a given amount of starch, can vary the intensity of the staining result. Less stain produces a lighter shade of the expected color, and vice-versa. And the best Iodine stain is actually a blend of Iodine crystals and Potassium Iodide in water.CheapIodine.com is a great source for Iodine.
