What organic molecule does iodine test for?
They test for carbohydrates. The Iodine reagent tests for starch. The Benedict's reagent tests for small sugars. Most carbohydrates are are made of sugar, and starch is a type of carbohydrate.

What type of is saccharide has no change when tested with benidicts solution?
Starch doesn't react in the Benedict test.
What are the differences between starch and glucose?
glucose is a type of sugar, and it is combined with starch. sugar is a category, because it could be fructose, glucose, etc.
What is the chermical you test for starch?
Starch has high affinity for Iodine and in presence of iodine crystals starch turns blue from being colourless. This the fundamental that is used for chemically identifying the starch.
What happened to the starch solution after you have added saliva?
Saliva contains enzymes which catalyse the breakdown of starch to maltose and dextrin. If starch solution is treated with saliva, these simpler sugars will soon start to form, which means the mixture will give the Benedict's test.
What is the color of a solution when starch is added?
Benedicts tests for the presence of monosaccharides. It will turn a yellow to red color if it is a positive test, but it does not so starch does not contain monosaccharides. ...Actually..... If starch is heated at 250 degrees Celsius, it breaks down into sugar! a saccharide! The intense heat denatures the the starch and transforms it into sugar. Also, if you have starch and amylase ( enzyme found in your saliva) and heat that to 37 degrees Celsius, you will also get a sugar, but in the form of glucose!
Why did a solution of saliva and oats test positive with benedict's test and iodine test if the oats alone tested positive only in the iodine test and the saliva alone was negative for both?
polysaccharides and simple sugar
Does garlic have starch or sugar in it?
I am not sure about the sugars but I have tested Garlic for starch using the iodine test and it shows no sign of containing such. A Benedict's test can be done to determine if it contains sugars.

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.
Why would icing sugar test positive for starch?
Icing sugar contains cornflour or wheat flour sometimes to make it lighter and to make it flow easier. The starch content would come from either of those.
Does starch gives positive result for Benedict test?
Starch is made up of repeating glucose units. Though it is a non reducing sugar, its hydrolysis gives out pure glucose, which is known as dextrose. And glucose, as we know, is a reducing sugar and hence would give a positive result in Benedict's test.
What does iodine and Benedict's test indicate?
Iodine tests for the presence of starch. It is brownish yellow in color if there is no starch present, and bluish black if starch is present. Benedict's solution is used to test for the presence of a reducing sugar, changing from its usual color blue to green to brick red if reducing sugars are present. No reducing sugar solution stays blue.
Do they send a saliva test for marijuana to the lab?
No, they don't do a saliva test for marijuana, they do a urine test.

How would you test an unknown solution for each of the following sugar fat starch protein?
Sugars - Benedict's solution Fats - Brown Paper Starch - Iodine Protein - Biuret Solution
