Saliva Lab Since the amylase enzyme is present in saliva‚ starch digestion begins in the mouth. Salivary amylase changes the polysaccharide starch into many disaccharide molecules of maltase (a simple sugar) which are further broken down into glucose units by maltase enzyme in the As stated above‚ saliva contains the amylase enzyme which begins the breakdown of starches. The efficiency of starch digestion by amylase can be measured by how much simple sugar it produces under

positive test results are Benedict’s test: orange to brick red Tollen’s test: metallic silver Starch iodine test: blue-black 3. Identify each of the samples in Part 1 as monosaccharide‚ disaccharide or polysaccharide. Water = not a saccharide Glucose = monosaccharide Fructose = monosaccharide Galactose = monosaccharide Sucrose = disaccharide Lactose = disaccharide Starch = polysaccharide Honey = primarily monosaccharides with some disaccharide Saccharine = not a saccharide

testing for starch and glycogen‚ Benedict’s test for reducing sugars‚schultz’ solution for cellulose‚ Phloroglucinol to test for lignin ‚Xantoproitec test and Biuret’s test for protein.And for lipid ‚ Sudan 3 test and emulsion test was conducted. Depending on the test performed‚ certain results acquired‚ clearly identified the macromolecules present in each food sample. With the aid of the results from the lab‚ the unknown solution will also be determined. Starch 1. To test for starch‚ the starch

Investigating the Biomolecules found in Gelatin Abstract: For this inquiry lab‚ the research team tested the gelatin solution for the presence of biomolecules. The team searched for the presence of starch‚ glucose‚ lipids‚ and proteins through the use of indicators: Sudan III‚ Lugol’s iodine‚ Benedict’s solution‚ and Biuret’s reagent. After testing the gelatin solution in the presence of the indicators‚ the results showed that Lugol’s reacted‚ turning orange-pink (oils) and the Biuret reagent (protein)

Vitamin C: freshly squeezed OJ‚ bottled OJ‚ frozen OJ‚ canned OJ * Optional: container for waste solutions and source of clean rinse water There are two different preparations (starch-iodine or indophenol) that may be used for the vitamin C indicator solution. Neither is more accurate than the other. The starch-iodine mixture is much cheaper. It can be made ahead and stored in a dark‚ cool place in two liter soda bottles and dispensed in liter containers at the lab stations. Both indicators

contain starch‚ glycogen‚ reducing sugars or proteins. The four major biological macromolecules are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins and nucleic acids. Abundant elements in the world such as carbon and nitrogen bond in different ways to form many different molecules. The functional groups are what determine their characteristics. During the experiment‚ there will be 3 test. The iodine test is completed to test for starch and glycogen. When iodine is mixed with a solution that contains starch‚ the amylose

and proteins. To identify the presence of these macromolecules in a substance‚ three different tests were performed. Lugol ’s iodine solution was used for identification of starch and glycogen - polysaccharides - in the twelve solutions. A positive outcome of the test results in a colour change; blue-black in the presence of starch and a red-brown in the presence of glycogen. A negative outcome results in no colour change and all solutions remain a very pale yellow (Pavia‚ 2005). Benedict ’s solution

macromolecules which are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ nucleic acids and proteins in given samples. The first experiment is to test the existence of carbohydrates in starch suspension and potato cell. If carbohydrate is present in starch suspension‚ the solution will turn into dark blue when iodine solution is added. If carbohydrate is present in potato cell‚ starch granules can be seen clearly under microscope when iodine solution is added. The second experiment is to test the existence of lipids in margarine and

Biological Molecules: Carbohydrates‚ Lipids‚ Proteins By the end of this lab‚ the student should be able to: Identify the functional groups for each of the biomolecules that react in the following biochemical tests: Benedict’s test‚ Iodine test‚ Brown Bag test‚ Sudan III/IV test‚ and the Biuret’s Test. Describe the mechanism of reaction for: Benedict’s test‚ Iodine test‚ Sudan III/IV test‚ and the Biuret’s Test. Interpret the results when presented with data for each of the biochemical

Test for Starch – with Iodine solution. Iodine solution is used to identify the presence of starch- a complex carbohydrate. Iodine solution (potassium iodide solution) reacts with amylase – a type of starch – whereby a blue-black polyiodide complex is formed. Method 1) Mix smalls amount of each food samples (i.e.‚ Egg lumen‚ cylindrical piece of potato tuber‚ bread crump and crisps) in different test tubes with distilled water to make a liquid test. Take another test tube with starch solution
