food that has protein like milk will cause the Biuret solution to turn purple.
The reagent that is used to test for starch is a mixture of iodine and potassium iodide in water, or an Iodine - KI reagent. If the reagent turns blue-black in color, then starch is present.
You probably mean Millon's reagent. Millon's reagent is a solution of mercury in nitric acid which is used as a test for the amino acid tyrosine. Since proteins contain tyrosine, it is also used as a test for protein. When the test solution is boiled with Millon's reagent a white precipitate (solid) is produced which coagulates and turns red.
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.
The positive turn purple and the negative turns red-colored. The positive is purple because the stain is able to pass through the thick peptoglycan wall where as the negative is red/pink because the stain can't get through the thick lipid layer (Membrane) to get to the thin peptoglycan layer.

If the color is blue, it means that protein is present, if it turns orange, protein is not present.

Biuret reagent is used to test for protein in urine. It is a common test that students in biology class perform. Urine is added to a test tube, followed by approximately the same amount of Biuret reagent. If the solution turns lavender this means that there are proteins present in the urine.
Starch is present. Check a potato with iodine.
Biuret solution turns a shade of purple if proteins are present. Specifically, it turns a shade of purple if peptide bonds are present. A peptide bond is the bond formed between amino acids.
