    This document describes 3 scientific tests being performed on a food sample to identify different components: 1. Benedict's solution was used to test for glucose, turning orange/red if glucose was present. 2. Iodine was used to test for starch, turning blue-black if starch was present. 3. Ethanol was used to test for lipids, forming a cloudy white precipitate if lipids were present. Proteins were tested for using Biuret solution, forming a blue ring or purple color if proteins were present.

    Glucose (Reducing sugar): Benedict’s Solution (a green solution)
    1. Add sample to solution
    2. Heat to 95° C
    3. If present, orange/red precipitate will form
    If not, it will remain green

    Starch (Non-reducing sugar): Iodine (brown)


    1. Grind up sample
    2. Add distilled water
    3. Add a few drops of iodine
    4. If present, will turn a blue-black colour
    If not, will remain brown.

    Lipids: Ethanol
    1. Add sample to ethanol
    2. If present, cloudy white precipitate

    Proteins: Biuret Solution


    1. Add sodium hydroxide to solution and shake
    2. Add weak copper sulphate solution
    3. If present, blue ring forms at top of solution (if shaken
    blue ring disappears and solution is purple)
