Question

b. Name the chemical reagent that will we use to test the presence of protein in nuts.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Biuret Test is done to show the presence of peptide bonds, which are the basis for the formation of proteins. These bonds will make the blue Biuret reagent turn purple. add an equal amount of NaOH to a solution of the food, mix carefully. add a few drops of 1% CuSO4, do not shake the mixture

Answer 2

Answer:

Biuret solution the chemical reagent that will we use to test the presence of protein in nuts.

EXTRA INFORMATION:

• Biuret solution is a blue solution , but when it reacts to the protein it's colour will be changed automatically into purple.
• Chemical formula if this reagent is C2H5N3O2.
• The molar mass of this Biuret solution is 103.08 g/mol.
• Biuret solution is made up of The Biuret reagent is made of sodium hydroxide and hydrated copper sulfate, together with potassium sodium tartrate.$\:$
