Carbohydrates such as starch are detected by mixing
2-4 drops of Lugol’s solution or iodine
if starch is present
yellow brown to purple color
positive result in test for complex carbohydrates
dark blue/black
negative results in test for complex caebohydrates
reddish orange
the presence of smaller carbohydrates like glucose can be determined by using
Benedict’s solution
has copper ions with a light blue color
Benedict’s solution
Negative result in Test for Reducing Simple Sugars
light blue
color if there is low concentration of simple sugars in test for reducing simple sugars
light green
color if there is high concentration of simple sugars in test for reducing simple sugars
yellow to orange brown
the presence of proteins may be determined by mixing a solution with
Biuret Test solution
Negative biuret test results
light blue/blue
positive biuret test results
purple
used for determining the presence of nucleic acids
