Iodine tests for the presence of starch. It is brownish yellow in color if there is no starch present, and bluish black if starch is present.

Benedict's solution is used to test for the presence of a reducing sugar, changing from its usual color blue to green to brick red if reducing sugars are present. No reducing sugar solution stays blue.

What do the result of the iodine test indicate about the composition of the endosperm?

The result of the iodine test indicates the presence of starch in the endosperm. When the endosperm is stained blue-black by iodine, it suggests a high starch content. Conversely, if there is little to no staining, it indicates a low starch content in the endosperm.

What chemical test is performed to indicate the completion of the hydrolysis of starch by acid?

If using acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of starch you can tell the hydrolysis is complete with the solution no longer gives a bluish/purple color with iodine solution. The color should be colorless.


Which colour indicate a negetive test when starch is absent?

A negative test for the presence of starch is indicated by a color change to yellow or light brown when iodine is added. This change occurs because iodine does not form a complex with starch in the absence of the polysaccharide, resulting in a different color reaction.


What is the importance of iodine test in enzymes?

The iodine test is used to detect starch (proteins) and enzymes are made up of proteins The Iodine test can be used to see if any of the enzymes are in the product you get after an experiment breaking down a substance with the required enzyme. The iodine will turn black/ blue if starch is present.


Which is more sensitive test fehlings test or Benedicts test?

Benedict's test is more sensitive than Fehling's test for detecting reducing sugars in a sample. Benedict's reagent has a lower detection threshold and is known to give more accurate results compared to Fehling's reagent.


What indicators are used for each molecule simple sugars starches lipids proteins?

Simple sugars: Benedict's solution test for reducing sugars. Starches: Iodine test, which turns blue-black in the presence of starch. Lipids: Sudan IV test, where lipids turn a red color. Proteins: Biuret test, leading to a color change from blue to purple in the presence of proteins.


Why would a negative iodine test for starch indicate a positive result for the enzymatic degradation of starch by amylase?

A negative iodine test for starch indicates that the starch has been broken down by amylase into simpler sugars, such as maltose or glucose, that do not react with iodine. Therefore, the absence of a starch-iodine complex formation suggests that amylase has successfully degraded the starch substrate.
