What color does sugar turn when you add iodine to it?
Iodine test is a procedure that tells whether a certain element or the such contains starch (or sugar) in it.In this test, we add iodine solution (with, possibly, KI reagent) to a material [in your case, sugar]. If starch ispresent, a blue-black, somehow purple, color will result, changing the initial color of iodine. If starch amylase (sugar) is NOT present, the color will remain orange/yellowish.
How can an iodine stain be used to distinguish between ripe and unripe fruit?
If you add Iodine-KI reagent to foods containing - starch such as bread, potato, crackers, or flour. A blue-black color results.If starch is not present, then the color will stay orange or yellow. (Iodine will not turn blue-black on contact with cellulose or disaccharides such as sucrose in sugar).Thus if you apply Iodine to an unripe fruit (where the sugars are still held as starch) the fruit will turn Blue-Black.However, once the fruit is ripe and the starch has been transformed into sweet sugar, the application of Iodine will only stain the fruit orange or yellow.

Add a drop of iodine to both a distilled water test tube and to the test tube containing the starch solution in the test tube What do you observe?
The starch solution will turn black, while the distilled water will remain brown, the same colour as the iodine. This is actually because water, normally used as a control, does not contain any starch and as we know, the iodine test is highly specific for the presence of starch hence no colour change other than iodine dissolving in water to form an iodine solution contrary to starch which we know complexes with iodine, to form starch-iodine complex forming the blue-black colour observed
What regent would you add to starch agar plate to detect starch hydrolsis?
To detect starch hydrolysis on a starch agar plate, you can add iodine solution. Iodine reacts with starch to form a blue-black color, and if starch is hydrolyzed by the organism, the clear zone around the bacterial growth will indicate the presence of amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch.
