To test for protein in food, you can use the Biuret test. Mix a small amount of food sample with Biuret reagent and observe for a color change - purple indicates the presence of protein. You can also use a protein detection kit or send the sample to a lab for detailed analysis.
One can test for protein in a sample by using a method called the Biuret test. This test involves adding a reagent to the sample, which causes a color change if protein is present. The intensity of the color change can indicate the amount of protein in the sample.
The biuret test tests for peptide (protein) bonds. In a test with a protein containing substance, a Copper(II) ion is reduced to Copper(I) which forms a compound with the nitrogen and carbon atoms of the peptide (protein) bonds in an alkaline (pH above 7) solution. If the solution goes to a purply-violet colour, proteins have been detected.
You can test the presence of protein in milk using the Biuret test. This test involves adding Biuret reagent to the milk sample, which reacts with proteins to give a purple color change. The intensity of the color change is proportional to the protein concentration in the milk sample.
The phenolic and tyrosine residues in proteins give a positive test with Millon's reagent. This reaction is based on the oxidation of phenolic groups by mercuric nitrate in the reagent to form a red-colored complex.
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.

A positive test for protein typically appears as a violet or purple color when using chemical indicators such as Biuret reagent. This color change indicates the presence of proteins in the test sample.

Biuret reagent is commonly used in laboratories to test for the presence of proteins. In practical real life situations, the Biuret test can be used to identify the protein content in food products, such as milk, eggs, and meat. It can also be used in medical diagnostics to detect protein abnormalities in bodily fluids like urine or blood.

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.
If Biuret Reagent is related to the presence of Protein macromolecules, then a positive result will change it's colour from blue to violet.
Benedict's reagent is not typically used to find proteins. It is commonly used to test for the presence of reducing sugars, such as glucose. To determine protein concentration, methods like the Bradford assay or the Lowry assay are more commonly used.
When being tested with biuret reagent, protein turns a blue to lilac color. However, starches when tested do change to a blackish blue color.
