Lab 25
Title: The Detection of Fats, Proteins, and Carbohydrate in Foods
Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to perform several general tests which help in identifying fats, protein, and carbohydrates in food.
Procedure:
Part A- Tests for Detecting Carbohydrates
In this part you will conduct the molisch, benedict, and iodine tests. Purple in the molisch test indicates a positive test. Benedicts test will result in a brick red/brown color for a positive test. For the iodine tests, a blue, red, or violet color indicates a positive test.
Part B- Test for Detecting Fats: The Grease Spot Test
Perform the grease spot test, which will help to detect fats.
Part C- Test for Detecting Protein
In this part we perform the xanthoprotic, biuret, and ninhydrin test. A yellow color is positive for the xanthoprotic test, and tyrosine will give a positive result. For the biuret test, a purple color is a positive test. The ninhydrin test will give a positive result for glycine.
Part D Testing Foods
Perform the grease spot test to the substance after filtering it. Now perform all six tests which were performed in the earlier parts.
Part E- Testing Milk
Perform the molisch, benedict, and iodine tests. Perform a grease spot test and then do the xanthoprotic, biuret, and ninhydrin tests. colonies from the powerhouse of Great Britain.
