    This document outlines the procedures and results for 4 common food tests: starch was detected using iodine, which turned the solution blue-black. Benedict's test was used to detect reducing sugars, with different observations indicating varying amounts. An ethanol emulsion test produced a white precipitate, indicating the presence of lipids. Biuret's test turned the solution lilac, showing the presence of proteins. The document provides the aims, procedures, observations, and conclusions for each of the 4 food tests.

    Food Tests (Known Samples)


    Aim 1: To test for the presence of starch (Iodine test)

    Observations: The yellow iodine solution turns the starch solution blue-black;

    Aim 2: To test for the presence of reducing sugars (Benedict’s test)


    1 mark for proper table with headings;

    Solution Sequence Observation Conclusion


    A 3rd Benedict’s solution remains blue; Reducing sugars are absent;
    B 2nd Red precipitate suspended in blue Small amounts of reducing
    solution OR sugar are present;
    Green precipitate produced;
    C 1st Brick-red precipitate produced; Large amounts of reducing
    sugars are present;

    Aim 3: To test for the presence of lipids in solid food (Ethanol Emulsion test)

    Observations: A white precipitate is produced;

    Aim 4: To test for the presence of proteins (Biuret’s test)

    Observations: Solution turns lilac;
