What does it mean when food does not react to iodine?
This is a classic biology experiment known as the "Iodine Test". Basically, by adding iodine (in the form of potassium iodide, KI) to something we can tell whether that something contains starch or not. If it turns dark blue (it's a very striking and obvious change, actually) then starch is present. So if there's no reaction, the food contains no starch. Coincidentally, it contains no Glycogen, either (as that would produce a brownish colour, albeit not the goal of the test). When doing this test, it's important to mulch up the food so any starches hidden on the inside (like in vegetable cells) is well exposed to give a perfectly reliable result.
If a food that is tested with an iodine indicator turns dark blue then it contains?
If a food tested with an iodine indicator turns dark blue, it indicates the presence of starch. The iodine reacts with the starch molecules, forming a complex that results in the blue coloration. This test is commonly used to identify starch in various foods.
