the mixture turn purple. cuso4 n naoh is use to detect the presence of peptide bonds in protein
You can use hydrogen peroxide to test for protein>
Send smoke through limewater [Ca(OH)2 ]solution.If it turned into milky CO2 present. Send smoke through anhydrous CuSO4 [white].If it turned into blue water present.
Hey. okay.. the biuret test is a test for peptide bonds. when CuSO4 is added to KOH, an alkaline solution, nitrogen atoms from the peptide bond forms a purple compound with the Cu2+ ions. hope this helps! read it in a text book.
CuSO4(aq) + BaCl2(aq) = CuCl2(aq) + BaSO4(s) This is the classic test for sulphates. A white precipitate of barium sulphate forms.
http://genchem.chem.wisc.edu/lab/CCA/MVHTM/CUSO/CUSONACO.HTMa pale blue precipitate if formed.-A pale blue precipitate is formed which is supposed to be insoluble copper carbonate. However, a flame test on the precipitate will be orange and I'm not sure why.[I would assume why is because of excess sodium ions mixed in, sodium spectral lines and flame colors tend to overpower everything else.]
Biuret Test for presence of proteins:Principle:The test indicates the presence of peptide linkages(CO-NH) in proteins. The CO-NH groups in polypeptide chain form complex colour compounds with cupric hydroxide (Cu(OH)2) which is formed by the action of NaOH on CuSO4 .Reagents:1) 40% Sodium hydroxide(NaOH)2) 1% Copper sulphate(CuSO4)Procedure:In 3mL of sample solution add 3mL of 40% NaOH. To This mixture add few drops of 1% CuSO4 .Observation:Purple Violet or Pink colour develops.Inference:(CO-NH) linkages are present.
1. Add 5 cm3 dilute sodium hydroxide (caustic!) to a 1% solution of albumen (the white part of an egg)2. Then add 1% copper sulphate solution3. A purple colour appears and this indicates that protein is present.
by conducting the biuret test. the positive result of biuret test will give you the purple blue ring on top of the solution.(albumen/milk + cuso4 +NaOH)
The most common method is the biuret test: in the presence of a copper(II) solution and NaOH the sample become violet.
Biuret reagent is made up of sodium hydroxide and copper sulphate.
Anhydrous Copper Sulfate will be white. The original crystals (CuSO4 pentahydrate) will be blue.
NaOH
The biuret test is a chemical test used for detecting the presence of peptide bonds. In a positive test, a copper(II) ion is reduced to copper(I), which forms a complex with the nitrogens and carbons of the peptide bonds in an alkaline solution. A violet color indicates the presence of proteins. by:Mr. Dael, Dan Rameil R.ZSCMT II-BSMB

Albumin and pepsin are both proteins, the test for proteins was positive.
