To detect starch hydrolysis on a starch agar plate, you can add iodine solution. Iodine reacts with starch to form a blue-black color, and if starch is hydrolyzed by the organism, the clear zone around the bacterial growth will indicate the presence of amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch.
A reagent is a chemical substance that reacts with some other substance. It is common to add a specific reagent to an unknown substance to determine whether or not the substance that the particular reagent reacts to is present. (For example, add a reagent for sugar to test for the presence of sugar.)
If you add iodine to starch the start will turn to a dark color blue/blk because of the enzyne Amylase (in starch), so if it is non starch there will not be a reaction and it will be clear.
Monomers are not joined together by the process of hydrolysis. Dehydration synthesis, or condensation reaction is the process of chemically joining monomers.
Use Biuret reagent.
You would add water through a hydrolysis reaction to reverse the condensation reaction (dehydration synthesis) that you started with to form the starch into a polysaccharide. All in all, you would just add WATER.
Iodine-KI reagent. Add to the substance being tested directly. Result: If positive, Turns Blue/Black If negative, (absence of starch) Solution remains orange/yellow.

No it doesn't. Hydrolysis means that you "add" water.

To test for starch you could use the Starch Test:Starch Test: Add Iodine-KI reagent to a solution or directly on a potato or other materials such as bread, crackers, or flour. A blue-black color results if starch is present. If starch amylose is not present, then the color will stay orange or yellow. Starch amylopectin does not give the color, nor does cellulose, nor do disaccharides such as sucrose in sugar.if starch is present it will turn blue/purple
The presence of starch can be tested with the help of Iodine. Similarly Benedict's test solution is also used to detect the presence of starch.
HCl In solution. H + and Cl - An easy hydrolysis with this strong acid.
Buiret Reagent
potatoes add starch to your diet.
