sugars and starch are both made only of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen that is insoluble in cold water or alcohol
Protein is not a starch.
No, protein is not a starch. Starch is a type of carbohydrate found in foods like grains and potatoes, while protein is a macronutrient found in foods like meat, dairy, and legumes. Both provide energy, but they have different functions in the body.
To test starch: To test starch you take the food sample, and add iodine solution if the colour turns black this means starch is present. To test for protein: To test for protein, you take the food sample and add Biuret A and Biuret B and shake, if the colour turns lilac this means that protein is present.
For protein detection, Biuret reagent is commonly used, which turns purple in the presence of proteins. Starch can be tested using iodine solution, which turns blue-black when it reacts with starch. Glucose is typically identified using Benedict's reagent, which changes from blue to orange or red upon heating in the presence of reducing sugars. For fats, the Sudan III stain can be used, which imparts a red color to the fat droplets.
One common test to show that starch is broken down to a reducing sugar is the iodine test. When starch is present, iodine will turn the solution blue-black. As starch is broken down into reducing sugars like maltose or glucose, the solution will no longer turn blue-black with iodine. Another test is Benedict's test, where Benedict's solution will change color from blue to orange/brown in the presence of reducing sugars.
Protein is not a starch.
Quinoa is classified as a protein, not a starch.
