Food Test 1: Test for Glucose – with Benedicts solution Benedicts solution is used to test for simple sugars‚ such as glucose. It is a clear blue solution of sodium and copper salts. In presence of simple sugars‚ the blue solution changes color to either green‚ yellow or brick-red‚ depending on the amount of sugar. Method 1) Mix smalls amount of each food sample (i.e.‚ Egg lumen‚ cylindrical piece of potato tuber‚ bread crump and crisps) in different test tubes with distilled water to make a

The catalase test is used to differentiate staphylococci (catalase-positive) from streptococci (catalase-negative). The enzyme‚ catalase‚ protects the bacteria from the toxic by-products of oxygen metabolism. This enzyme is produced by bacteria that respires using oxygen. The catalase-positive bacteria include strict aerobes. Catalase-negative bacteria may be anaerobes‚ or they may be facultative anaerobes do not respire using oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor. The test reaction is very fast

Flame Tests By: Jordan Anthony‚ Zack Balog‚ and Evan Degraw Regents Chemistry class‚ Union Springs High School‚ 4th period January 19/2015 The purpose of this lab was to see what colors are characteristic of particular metallic ions in a flame test and use their characteristic color to identify other elements. Another purpose is to understand how fireworks work. This experiment will help one understand how a flame test is performed and that every metal has a unique bright

lab experiment six different test were conducted. Each test consists of chemicals to be tested using 3 to 10 drops of the additive in order to observe a change. With any experiment you compose a hypothesis; where you make an educated guess. The hypothesis will primarily be‚ which base chemical will produce the greatest change based on the additive. Experiment 6.1 (Starch) when adding the three drops of Iodine to each tube observe the color change. When performing this test the chemical with the larger

3.1 Ex-vivo Evaluation of the Mucoadhesiveness of Synbiotics Mucoadhesive properties prolong the retention time of the bead’s dose in the targeted site the colon [23]‚ [50]. Since the dose is intended to colonic release‚ mucoadhesion parameters play a key role in the efficiency of the form. The beads remain longer in contact with colonic mucosa when they have more mucoadhesive property. As a result the probiotics will have enough time to get released from beads and colonize the colon [37]‚ [51]

The presence of carbohydrates in a solution can be determined by a qualitative test of Molisch test. Molisch test is a general‚ sensitive chemical test and positive for all kinds of carbohydrates which in free form or in combined form. The test is based on the dehydration of the carbohydrate by concentrated sulfuric acid to produce an aldehyde which condenses with two molecules of phenol‚ resulting in a coloured compound. Molisch reagent is a solution of α-napthol in 95% ethanol. The aldehydes produced

techniques and biochemical testing to identify an unknown bacteria using Bergey’s manual. Bergey’s manual of Systematic Bacteriology is a dichotomous key primarily used to identify a bacterial species. Biochemical tests are used to differentiate different species of bacteria. These tests are effective in determining the characteristics of the microbe being tested. Such characteristics include citrate utilization‚ gelatin hydrolysis‚ nitrate reduction‚ etc. Biochemical testing is very important in

aldehydes are known as aldoses. Sugars that are ketones are known as ketoses.Glucose and galactose are example of aldoses while fructose is an example of ketoses.There are few test can be done for testing these sugar to show or prove are they reducing sugar or non reducing sugar.Example of the test that can be done is Benedict test. 1 In plant‚glucose is stored as the polysaccharide starch.Example of food that rich in starch is oat‚cereal‚rice and corn.Starch can be divided into

The Tensile Behaviour of Common Engineering Polymers Abstract The mechanical properties of polymers vary significantly from polymer to polymer as a result of atomic structures and bond strength. The tensile properties of representative samples from the common polymer were tested and evaluated in this experiment. This laboratory experiment is also designed to demonstrate the procedure used for obtaining mechanical properties as modulus of elasticity‚ yield strength‚ ultimate tensile strength
