Answer:
Starch testing
add the leaf to boiling ethanol in a water bath for a few minutes (the boiling ethanol dissolves the chlorophyll and removes the green colour from the leaf - it turns white so it is easy to see the change in colour) wash with water to rehydrate and soften the leaf and spread onto a white tile.
