Why proline amino acid gives yellow colour in reaction with ninhydrin?

Yes. Within "The Chemical Reactions of Amino Acids / Reactions of Amino Groups" there are several examples - one of which is the ninhydrin reaction. A very widely applied reaction of the alpha amino group [that is the N in the peptide bond -CCN-CCN-], it is used to estimate the quantity of amino acids [in a sample] in very small amounts. All amino acids and polypeptides with a free alpha group react with ninhydrin and yield [or produce] an intensely purple colored product - except for Proline and Hydroxyproline {both in which the alpha amino group is termed to be 'substituted' - something to do with carbon rings} which "yield derivatives with a characteristic yellow color." See also 'Schiff's bases'.

What is the basis of the test for cellulose with Shultz stain?

Proteins get denatured when acid is added and this forms a white coagulum which is slightly yellow in colour because of nitro- derivatives of proteins given by aromatic amino acids.Read more: What_is_the_basis_of_Heller's_test_in_biochemistryget denatured when acid is added and this forms a white coagulum which is slightly yellow in colour because of nitro- derivatives of proteins given by aromatic amino acids.
