Food Tests - Year 10

This document outlines the procedures for common food tests to identify macromolecules like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. It describes using iodine to test for starch (turns black), Benedict's solution to test for sugars (turns orange), Biuret's reagent to test for proteins (turns purple), and Sudan III to test for fats (forms a red-stained oil layer). The purpose is to teach students how to perform basic nutrient identification tests in a practical lab setting.

Ext: what is the difference between an organ and


a tissue?
Positive foods Negative foods

Starch—
Iodine

Glucose
(sugar)—

Practical time!
Testing for glucose

Blue Benedict’s solution turns orange/red when it is heated


to 70C with glucose.
Benedict’s
solution

orange/red
chopped hot water = glucose
up food

heat
Orange/red = glucose
Testing for starch

Orangey-brown iodine turns blue-black when it reacts with


starch.

Iodine

drop iodine
solution onto the
food

black = starch
Testing for protein

In the Biuret test, the solution turns purple when it reacts


with protein.

Biuret’s
reagent
shake

chopped up
food

purple = protein
Testing for fats

Sudan III solution is used to test fats.

Transfer
grind food into a beaker
And add water
Half fill the test tube
with the solution
add 3 drops of
Sudan III and shake.

Red stained oil layer=fat
