What is the difference between Sudan IV Lipid Test and Translucence Lipids Test?

We just did a lab on this in my bio class.The Sudan test uses Sudan IV reagent. If a lipid or fat is present, red globs of fat will appear at the top of the solution. If not, there won't be a reaction.The translucence test is when a drop of liquid is placed on an unglazed paper. Water will dry up and leave the paper crinkly. An oil or fat will spread out, and leave a stain, not really drying, and making the paper look translucent.

What is translucent spot?

A translucent spot is where some light can pass through a paper which you've used to test for the presence of lipids. In this case, the cause of the translucent spot is the presence of the high molecular weight fatty acids which have not evaporated.
