Because amylase, being an enzyme, is a protein, these molecules will not give a positive result in testing with Benedict's solution.

This reagent is devised for testing sugar solutions (like sucrose), which MAY be formed at the amylolytic breakdown of starch (amylose, amylopectin). This breakdown can NOT occur when boiled enzym molecules are used (because of inactivation by denaturation of the protein structures).

If we chew rice or bread for a few minutes it starts tasting sweet?

When boiled rice is chewed, the salivary amylase of the saliva changes the starch to maltose. Thus it tasted sweet and gave a negative result with iodine.Thanks


Why would a negative iodine test for starch indicate a positive result for the enzymatic degradation of starch by amylase?

Perhaps the iodine solution was old and gave a false negative.


Will hydrolysed dextrine give positive response to Benedict test?

Yes, it should. Benedicts test will be positive for reducing sugars, and since glucose is such a sugar, and would be a product of dextrin hydrolysis, you should get a positive result with Benedicts reagent.


What color does sugar turn when you add iodine to it?

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.
