14. Biuret Reagent 15. Iodine 16. Benedicts Reagent Methods In this lab there are I complete two different tests. The procedure was relatively the same for each test. I would first add 3ml of a given substance to a test tube‚ followed by 5 drops of either Biuret Reagent or Iodine. Once the agent is added‚ I swirled the two substances and then observed the results. The first was to test proteins‚ and the second‚ was to test starches. In the first test‚ Proteins‚ I used biuret reagent to determine

The Biuret reagent was made by the mixing of two chemicals. 10. The reaction with Biuret reagent was observed and recorded. 11. The solutions were disposed as stated in the 8th procedure; the lab equipment and chemicals were returned to the teacher. CONCLUSIONSThrough this lab‚ we learned how to determine protein‚ lipids‚ glucose and starch with their indicators from unknown samples. During the lab‚ I have noticed that the protein solution reacted most dramatically with the Biuret reagent. When

tests that are commonly used to test for protein which are the Millon’s and Biuret’s test. A Millon’s test detects the amino acid tyrosine and if the proteins possess a certain substance‚ only then it will give out a positive result. However‚ the Biuret test is done to identify the presence of

Determination of presence of protein in a variety of food substances by the use of Biuret Reagent Biol. 1040 Section 1005 Introduction The human body consumes carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ and proteins each day by eating a variety of foods. These foods are required for energy and human growth. Proteins are a diverse group of macromolecules with many different functions (Mbuthia‚ 2012). Many are structural components of bone‚ muscle‚ hair‚ tissue‚ etc. Others are enzymes that speed up cellular

To test for proteins‚ one must use biuret reagent. “Biuret regent contains solutions of sodium or potassium and a small amount of dilute copper sulfate solution” pg 28. The reagent then changes color to see if there is a sign of proteins. I think that the distilled water will show a negative result‚ Albumin will show a positive result‚ Pepsin will show a positive result and starch will show a negative result. For this experiment a person would need biuret reagent‚ four test tubes‚ distilled water

foods but the few most well-know are the Molisch test‚ Bennedict test and the iodine test. Proteins are made up of amino acids‚ which are the simplest unit of proteins. The few maintests to identify the present of the proteins are Xanthoprotic test‚ Biuret test and also Ninhydrin test.The test used to identify the present of fats are the Grease spot test. This can be carried out by using a piece of filter paper. Although it cannot identify the types of fats present but it can show the present of fats

Substance Tested Predicted Results Biuret Color & Number of drops added 1. Egg White Change color 5 drops –turned a yellow/light brown 2. Pepsin Change color 5 drops- turned purple 3. Sugar No Change 5 drops-no change in color 4. Distilled Water No Change 5 drops-no

different substances. Introduction Macromolecules are in all forms of life. These organic compounds are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. These are monomers and they link together into long chains that form polymers. Different reagents can be used to find the presence of these macromolecules. Proteins are made of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ and sometimes sulfur. Proteins are covalently bonded in chains as polymers of amino acids. These bonds are called peptide bonds.
