Then add to the ethanol and allow to boil for about a minute until all the colour disappears from the leaf. Remove the leaf from the ethanol. Put it back in the hot water to soften for 10 seconds. Spread the leaf out on a white tile and use the iodine solution to test for starch A blue-black colour indicates starch is present.
