Red/White/Blue
Iodine changes color from brown to blue-black when starch is present.
Iodine turns a blue-black color when starch is present. This is due to the formation of a starch-iodine complex, where the iodine molecules interact with the starch molecules causing the color change.
Iodine turns a yellow-brown color when there is no starch present in a leaf. This color change indicates the absence of starch, which is detected by the iodine as it interacts with the leaf's compounds.
When iodine is added to a solution containing starch, it forms a starch-iodine complex in which the iodine molecules are trapped within the helical structure of the starch. This complex absorbs light differently than free iodine, resulting in a color change from yellow-brown (free iodine) to blue-black (starch-iodine complex).
Tubers and root crops contain starch as the main component. When iodine is dropped on them, the iodine reacts with the starch molecules to form a blue-black color. This color change is a characteristic reaction that helps detect the presence of starch in these foods.

Iodine will change the color of starch to a blue-black color. This reaction is used as a simple test to detect the presence of starch in a sample.
Iodine is commonly used to test for the presence of starch. When iodine comes into contact with starch, it turns from its amber color to a blue-black color. This color change indicates the presence of starch.
When a pumpkin is placed in an iodine solution, the starch present in the pumpkin will react with the iodine to form a dark blue or black color. This color change occurs due to the formation of a starch-iodine complex, which is a characteristic reaction used to detect the presence of starch in a substance. The intensity of the color change can vary depending on the concentration of starch in the pumpkin and the concentration of the iodine solution.

Iodine is an indicator for starch. The reaction between iodine and starch causes a color change from brown/orange to blue/black.
If the endosperm contains starch, it will turn blue-black in the presence of iodine solution. This color change indicates the presence of starch in the endosperm, as iodine reacts with starch to form a starch-iodine complex, resulting in the blue-black color.
If you add iodine drops to a non-starch substance, such as sugar or protein, there will be no color change. Iodine is used to detect the presence of starch by turning blue-black in the presence of starch molecules. Non-starch substances will not produce this color change.
Starch is not the indicator. Iodine is the indicator of starch.
