due to the presence of starch.
Starch, I think, because iodine solution is the test for starch.
1. Starch is used by plants.....and glycogen is animal food.... 2. Starch gives blue colour on testing with iodine solution. and glycogen gives red colour when tested wiht iodine solution. Thank you
The Iodine test uses Iodine solution, which is usually a brown colour. It is used to test for the presence of Starch. Iodine solution, iodine dissolved in an aqueous solution of potassium iodide, reacts with starch producing a blue black color. If the sample being tested doesn't turn blue-black, then starch isn't present.
Starch is tested with the solution called Iodine. If starch is present when Iodine is dropped in, the solution will turn a brown, black color.

because there is starch in the food you tested
The starch in the potato would react with the iodine, causing it to take a blue-black colour.
By dissolving the pH solution a colour change will occur in the solution that should be tested.Compairing the colour of solution to the colours marked on of pH chart we can find out if the solution we tested is of alkaline nature or of acidic nature or neutral.Solutions of pH7are neutral solutions.Solutions below pH7 are acidic solutions and those above pH7 are alkaline solutions.

When tested with iodine, you will see a blue-black colour if starch is present. If there is no starch present, the iodine will remain brown.
Bendedict's solution is a blue solution, when glucose is present, a brick-red precipitate is formed. If starch is present, the iodine solution will turn from yellowish-brom to blueish-black.
