What is brown paper test for lipids?
The brown paper test is a simple method to test for the presence of lipids (fats and oils). To perform the test, a small sample of the substance is placed on brown paper and allowed to dry. If a translucent spot appears on the paper, it indicates the presence of lipids as they create a stain due to their hydrophobic nature.
Why in grease spot test the filter paper became translucent?
In the grease spot test, the filter paper becomes translucent when a grease spot is applied because the grease dissolves and spreads through the paper fibers. This causes the paper to become more transparent as the grease fills the spaces between the fibers, allowing more light to pass through.
What is translucent spot?
A translucent spot is where some light can pass through a paper which you've used to test for the presence of lipids. In this case, the cause of the translucent spot is the presence of the high molecular weight fatty acids which have not evaporated. Essential oils also leave a translucent spot on paper. ~Wrein Haill Tinman
2 tests for the presence of fats?

What is another simple test to determine if a molecule is a lipid or not?
Another simple test to determine if a molecule is a lipid or not is the grease spot test. Lipids leave a translucent spot on paper when they absorb into it due to their hydrophobic nature. This test can help differentiate lipids from other biomolecules that do not leave such spots.
What if your brown lunch bag has a large translucent spot on the bottom and why would this happen?
Translucent spots on lunch bags are usually caused because something inside the bag has leaked. The spot can cause the bag to lose strength and tear.
How does a grease spot form on a piece of brown paper?

What is the confirmatory test for fat?
A good confirmatory test for fat is Sudan III test. Take a test sample and add a few drops of Sudan III. A red stain shows that fat is present. Paper test is another test for fat. Melt the fat and drop it on a piece of paper. If it forms a translucent grease spot, fat is present.
