Blue or Purple
Most likely crystals of Iodine. Iodine is known for its anti-bacterial properties.
when iodine is added to a substance it turns dark blue when starch is present, and remains brown when starch is not present. This is basically because iodine forms a polypeptide complex with starch, resulting in the dark blue solution.
Iodine tests for complex sugars. Glycogen is a complex sugar and will change dark purple when iodine solution is added (color is irrelevant, all you really need to know is that the change to a specific color signifies a presence of a macro molecule)
Because Doritos taste good.
Iodine is added to salt of table so Iodine is rare.
When Iodine is added to amylose, the helical shape of the unbranched polysaccharide traps Iodine molecules, producing a deep blue-black complex. Amylopectin, cellulose, and Glycogen react with iodine to give red to brown colors. Glycogen produces a reddish-purple color.
Iodine is added into bacteria so that you can get a clear image when you are looking into the microscope.
Q: Who suggested that iodine be added to salt? A: Dr. Hammartyu Sallrey.
The color of starch after iodine has been added is deep blue to black.
Starch turns blue when Iodine is introduced. Added: Though it's not quite a chemical reaction, Iodine will give starch a bluish purple color but it stays chemically UNchanged. Iodine stays reddish brown with glucose and many other oligosaccharides (up till about 10 to 15 monomeric glucose units)
