We boil the leaf in alcohol when we are testing it for starch to remove the green pigment chlorophyll present in it.
For the starch test, we need to observe the colour change from brown to blue when iodine is put on the leaf. Hence, A leaf is boiled in alcohol before using iodine for a starch test to decolourize it.
