No, a grease spot test or Sudan IV test can be used to test for lipids. Ninhydrin is used to test for amino acids.
The chemical used to test for the presence of starch is iodine.
because there are such types of lipids that have carbohydrates attached to them(glycolipids). that's why Molisch test is used for lipid detection.
You can buy a test kit at a fish store and then you can test it by yourself!
Ninhydrin is used in amino acid TLC because it readily stains amino acids by reacting with the amine groups. This reaction takes place very quickly and creates a brownish-color that can be easily visualized.
Benedict's test estimates on color scale the presence of sugar .Normally used as a random pathological chemical test to determine the presence of sugar in urine in diabetes patients.In presence of sugar Benedict's solution turns from blue to shades of yellow,red,brown & dark according to the percentage of sugar present in solution on heating the solution.
No! because the Ninhydrin test is mostly used to detect ammonia or primary secondary amines
Sudan III is used to detect the presence of lipids.
Sudan red can be used to test for lipids. It is soluble in lipids so it will turn the entire sample red. Also, you can do the brown paper test. Put a few drops of the suspected lipid onto a brown paper bag. If the substance is a lipid, it will turn the spots translucent.
Kraut's test for lipids is a test for glycerol. One of the reagents used in Kraut's test for lipids is bismuth subnitrate
A number of tests are used to test lipids including Suddan III test , emulsion test , solubility test , soapanification test .
Ninhydrin works because it reacts with the amino acids left behind in a latent print. Ninhydrin has a polar carbonyl carbon with is electron deficient. It is attacked by the nucleophilic nitrogren on an amino acid, temporarily combining the ninhydrin and amino acid molecule. The structure is rearranged until the origionally attacked carbon is protonated and leaves in the form of water. This creates a schiff base when the nitrogen is double bonded to the origionally attacked carbon. This molecule rearranges again so that the nitrogen is double bonded to the adjacent carbon of the amino acid. This last rearrangement produces carbon dioxide gas. Further rearrangement of the product produces ruheman's purple.
what is used to test for the presence of salt in water
used a qualitative colourimetric test for the detection of cholesterol
The burning splint test is used to test for the presence of hydrogen. The symbol for hydrogen is H.
When ammonia or primary and secondary amines are detected, a deep blue or purple color known as Ruhemann's purple is produced. Ninhydrin can also be used to monitor deprotection in solid phase peptide synthesis (Kaiser Test). The chain is linked via its C-terminus to the solid support, with the N-terminus extending off it. When that nitrogen is deprotected, a ninhydrin test yields blue. Amino-acid residues are attached with their N-terminus protected, so if the next residue has been successfully coupled onto the chain, the test gives a colorless or yellow result.
The Iodine test is used to test for the presence of starch.
Starch.
