How can you tell if a substance is a lipid?

Lipids are organic compounds that are hydrophobic and made up of fatty acids. One way to detect lipids is through a Sudan IV test, in which lipids turn a red color when they come into contact with the dye. Additionally, lipids can be identified through their characteristic solubility in nonpolar solvents like chloroform and their distinctive structure of long carbon chains.

Importance of Sudan IV?

Like lipids, the chemical Sudan IV is not soluble in water; it is, however, soluble in lipids. Therefore to test for the presence of lipids in a solution you will use a Sudan IV Test. In this test dark red Sudan IV is added to a solution along with ethanol to dissolve any possible lipids. If lipids are present the Sudan IV will stain them reddish-orange, giving a positive test.


Why doesn't egg yolk have a reaction in the Sudan IV test?

Egg yolk should have a reaction in the Sudan IV test, because the Sudan IV tests for lipids (fats), and the yolk does have some fat in it. The Sudan IV test should have not had a reaction for egg membrane or egg white. Hope that helped!
