Answer:
Out of many tests, starch test is one of the tests conducted on food substances in order to determine the presence of carbohydrates in them.
Explanation:
- Iodine test is done to determine the presence of starch in a given food sample.
- It is specific for polysaccharides.
- Carbohydrate – glucose is a helical molecule and iodine can be absorbed in between the molecules. This absorptive property forms the basic principle of iodine starch test.
- In this test, the food sample is taken in a solution form in a test tube and dilute 2-3 drops of iodine solution is poured into it.
- If the colour of the test tube changes to blue-black, then starch presence is confirmed.
- Starch is present in substances like – potatoes, bread, rice, pasta, cereals etc.
Hence, we can say that potatoes, bread etc. have starch in them and they tested positive for iodine test conducted.
