    This document outlines three activities to test for the presence of different food components in samples. The first activity tests for starch using iodine solution, which turns black-blue in the presence of starch. The second uses crushed fatty foods on paper to detect lipids via oily patches. The third mixes egg whites or other protein samples with copper sulfate and caustic soda solutions, which produce a purple/violet color in the presence of proteins. The document guides students through the procedures, materials, observations, and conclusions for each activity.

    Activity 1
    Aim: To test the presence of starch in the given sample.

    Materials required: Pens, notebooks, iodine solution,


    and smashed potato or starch.

    Activity 1
    Procedure:
    i) Take 5 ml of iodine solution in the test tube.

    ii) Add a pinch of starch or potato into the above


    test tube.

    iii) Note down the colour change in the notebooks.

    Activity 1
    Observation: The colour of the solution in the test
    tube changes to black blue colour.

    Inference: The change in colour in the test-tube to


    black blue helps the students to know that the
    sample given is starch.

    Activity 2
    Aim: To test the presence of lipids in the given
    sample.

    Materials required: Fatty food sample (e.g. Vada,


    chips) and white paper.

    Activity 2
    Procedure:
    Take a small quantity of a fatty food item.
    Wrap it in a piece of paper and crush it.
    Carefully straighten the paper.

    Observation: Oily patch appears on the paper.

    Conclusion: It shows the presence of fats in the


    food sample.

    Activity 3
    Aim: To show the presence of proteins in a given
    food sample.
    Materials required: Raw egg white or any other
    protein sample, copper sulphate solution, caustic
    soda and test tube.

    Activity 3
    Procedure:
    Preparation of copper sulphate solution: Dissolve 2
    grams of copper sulphate in 10ml of water.
    Preparation of caustic soda solution:
    Dissolve 10 grams of caustic soda in 100 ml water.
    Take egg white in water in a test tube.
    Add 2-3 drops of copper sulphate solution and 10-
    12 drops of caustic soda solution.
    Shake well.
