What color is a positive test for protein?
A positive test, when using Biuret reagent, would be purple-ish
An unknown sample is tested with both biuret reagent and benedicts reagent both test result in a blue color what has been learned and why are these called negative results?
That the unknown sample is not a monosaccharide and is does not contain peptide bonds (is not a protein). This is because they both produced negative results because Biuret tests positive in solutions that contain peptide bonds and will turn a violet color. Benedict reagent reacts to monosaccharides and will turn green-reddish orange when a monosaccharide is present. Neither of these things happened so the results are negative.
What reagent is used to test for starch?
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.
What color is million's reagent?
blue
Will Alanine give a negative Biuret test?
Because solutions with "free" amino acids don't have peptide bonds and peptide bonds need to be present in order for the test to be positive.
What color does biuret reagent turn if lipid is present?
If lipids are present, the solution will turn a purple/violet color.
What is the difference between Benedict's Reagent and Biuret Reagent?
Benedicts reagent is used to check reducing sugars , it need hat to work and gives red color when positive ,. While biuret reagent is for proteins .there is no need to use heat and gives purple , violet color when positive ..
If you mixed albumin with 5 drops of biuret reagent what color do you get?
Purple or black
What color is a positive test for protein?
A positive test, when using Biuret reagent, would be purple-ish
What will you observe when the isolated beta amylase enzyme is subjected to biuret test?
When the isolated beta amylase enzyme is subjected to the biuret test, you will observe a color change from yellow to blue. This is because the biuret reagent reacts with the peptide bonds in the enzyme, causing a change in color.

If corn oil is tested with Benedicts's solution and Biuret reagent and the final color is blue what do you know about corn oil?
Benedict's solution tests for aldehyde which is present in reducing sugars. If the solution remained blue than no reducing sugar's are present in corn oil.
What color does biuret turns if protein is present?
purple for longer peptides (larger proteins) and pink for shorter ones
What is the Biurets test?
The Biurets test is used to identify if there are proteins present in a substance. The bond between the amino group and the carboxyl acid group on adjacent amino acids in a protein is a peptide bond. When the Biuret reagent (1 percent solution of copper sulfate) is added to a solution containing peptide bonds, the solution turns a violet color. The violet color is a positive test for the presence of protein. The more intense the color, the greater the number of peptide bonds that react. Hence, if it turned purple, then there are proteins, but if it stayed blue, then no proteins are present. Mostly it is used to check for enzymes which are made of proteins.
What is the colour change in Protein when the Bluret test is performed?
When being tested with biuret reagent, protein turns a blue to lilac color. However, starches when tested do change to a blackish blue color.
Give the principles and significance of the biuret test?
The biuret reaction is based on the reduction of Cu2+ to Cu+ which then complexes with the nitrogen atoms on the peptide bonds. This reactionis carried out at high pH and gives a violet colour. It is the amide bond (common to all proteins) which is resposible for the colour.
What does biuret solution specifically react with to produce a color change?
Copper sulphate gives biuret reagent it's blue colour.
