Proteins Purpose: To test for the presence of starches and protein macromolecules‚ to introduce the concept of variations in chemical compounds. Hypothesis: If biuret is blue after a test for protein‚ then it is a negative result because biuret reagent is blue to begin with. If a solution is pinkish purple‚ or purple‚ then the test for protein is positive. The test solution for starches is yellowish brown. If any substance that is yellowish brown when mixed with iodine‚ then the test for starches is

Iodine Test for Starch Introduction and Hypothesis: In this experiment‚ we used iodine to test for starch in certain solutions. Iodine separates starch from polysaccharides‚ monosaccharides‚ and disaccharides. Starch is a curled polymer of glucose and iodine interacts with molecules‚ which changes the color of the molecules to a kind of black color. Iodine does not respond with carbohydrates that are not curled or coiled‚ thus the color stays yellowish brown. A black color result means that starch

Biuret to test the reaction of the following 12 samples: 1% glucose‚ 0.3% glucose-1-phosphate‚ 1% maltose‚ honey‚ 1% sucrose‚ 1%lactose‚ 1% glycogen‚ 1% starch‚ protein‚ beer‚ distilled water and an unknown solution (test tube: 300). The iodine test for starch was to test how would starch reacted if we put iodine in it. The color of starch before the test was clear. The color of the iodine was brown. When you added iodine into starch‚ the result was the starch solution turned dark blue. Starch had a

Biosynthesis of Starch Introduction: In this lab we learned the concept and procedure of synthesizing starch. We also learned the effects of pH and temperature on the reaction rates of amylase.. In the process of the synthesis lab we learned phosphorylation using a potato‚ which was what we synthesized. The phosphorylation took place after the addition of primer. There are two different types of starches used are amylose and amylopectin. To test for the presence of starch‚ the Starch Test is used.

“Is Starch Permeable in Cells? Abstract This report presents the weights of 3 samples of water with various amounts of solute after the use of osmosis. Three different tests were performed‚ each with a beaker of water containing varying amounts of starch from 30% concentration (12.5 grams of water) to 15% concentration (9.5 grams of water)‚ and then 0% (10.5 grams of water). To start this experiment‚ we put water into a make-shift dialysis tube‚ a type of semi-permeable membrane tubing made

It about modified starch Journal of Agricultural Science Vol. 2‚ No. 2‚ June 2010 requirements are properties such as viscosity‚ resistant to shear‚ low pH and high temperature. Accordingly‚ varieties of modified starches are used in food industry. Table 1 lists some of the modified starches that can be prepared from different sources to meet the marketing-related requirements. Today‚ modified food starch is a food additive and limits of its modification‚ use and labeling are clearly defined

Title: Starch Aims 1. To identify starch in food. 2. To study the microscopic appearances of raw and heated starch. 3. To compare the viscosity of various gelatinized starch solutions. Introduction Starch is one of the most abundant substances on the earth. It can be found in seeds‚ grains‚ and roots of many crops where it is synthesized in granular form. Starch granules are packages of starch molecules. The importance of starch is well-known‚ as is its central role in human diet.

Resistant starch (RS) is starch and starch degradation products that escape from digestion in the small intestine of healthy individuals.[1] Resistant starch is considered the third type of dietary fiber‚ as it can deliver some of the benefits of insoluble fiber and some of the benefits of soluble fiber. Some carbohydrates‚ such as sugars and most starch‚ are rapidly digested and absorbed as glucose into the body through the small intestine and subsequently used for short-term energy needs or stored

Peerless strategy Case Overview The first plant of the Peerless starch industry was started in Blair during the civil war times. It is one of the highest wages paying plants in the region sporting a five story building supported by two massive towers. The other plants in the region have all shut down and currently Peerless starch is the only active plant in the region and it employs 8000 of the 120000 residents of the Blair. Company has three more plants in Illinois‚ Oregon and Texas which
