Ok so all I have found so far is In Benedict's solution Starch-no observable reaction and Starch Amylase-clear blue. In Iodine Starch- Blue Black Starch and Amylase-orange the web page I found this on how ever was very confusing so I'm not sure

Is iodine an indicator of glucose?

Iodine is not an indicator of glucose. Iodine is primarily used as an indicator for the presence of starch in a solution through the formation of a blue-black color complex. Glucose can be tested using methods such as Benedict's solution, Fehling's solution, or glucose test strips.


What is the indicator for carbohydrates?

Simple(sugar): benedicts solution. Turns bright orange. Complex(starch): iodine turns dark purple/black


Which reacts to iodine glucose or starch?

Starch turns blue when Iodine is introduced. Added: Though it's not quite a chemical reaction, Iodine will give starch a bluish purple color but it stays chemically UNchanged. Iodine stays reddish brown with glucose and many other oligosaccharides (up till about 10 to 15 monomeric glucose units)


What tests are used to test for the presence of starch and glucose?

for the starch iodine test is performed in which the starch reacts with iodine to produce dark blue colour which confirms the presence of starch. for glucose benedict's and fehling's test is performed. benedict's test: 1 ml sample is mixed with 1 ml of benedicts solution and the heated upto boiling if the colur changes to brick red then it confirms the presence of glucose fehling's test: similarly 1 ml fehling's solution I & fehling's solution II each in taken together and to it 1 ml of the sample is takenon then heated uptill boiling. if the colour changes to brick red the it confirms the presence of glucose.


What do lugols iodine solution nd clinitest tape for?

Lugols: tests for starch Clinitest- Glucose


What chemical is used to test for starch and what is the result if starch is present?

The chemical is called Iodine solution. If starch is present, the iodine solution will turn from amber to blue black.


Which white powder turns blue-black in iodine solution?

Starch powder turns blue-black in iodine solution due to the formation of a starch-iodine complex.


Which white powder turns orange in benedicts solution?

The white powder that turns orange in Benedict's solution is glucose. Benedict's reagent contains copper ions which can be reduced by glucose, resulting in a color change from blue to orange-red.


What is the organic compound that reacts when iodine is added to starch solution?

The organic compound that reacts with iodine in a starch solution is amylose, which is a polysaccharide and a component of starch. When iodine is added to a starch solution, it forms a blue-black complex with the amylose present in the solution.


Why use iodine solution to test for starch?

Iodine solution changes color when it comes in contact with starch, turning from brown to dark blue or black. This reaction occurs because iodine molecules interact with the long glucose chains in starch, forming a complex that absorbs light and appears as a different color. This color change makes iodine solution a reliable indicator for the presence of starch in a sample.


How does Lugol's solution work as an indicator?

An indicator is a substance that changes colour in the presence of another substance. Let say inside the beaker are substances of both glucose and starch. The glucose and starch are of same colour. By injecting the lugol's solution into the beaker, the lugol's solution changes colour in the area of where starch is, while no colour changes in the presence of glucose. Thus, by using the Lugol's solution which only acts as indicator for starch and not glucose, we could tell part which area floats around with glucose and starch substances. Lugol's solution works as an indicator because it will stain starches due to iodine's interaction with the coil structure of the polysaccharide.


What reagent is used to test for glucose and starch?

Benedict's solution is used to test for glucose, turning from blue to orange-red in the presence of reducing sugars. Iodine solution is used to test for starch, producing a blue-black color in the presence of starch.
