About this document
Iodine and Fat Tests for Starch Detection by Sathik Ibrahim is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The iodine test is used to test for the presence of starch. Iodine solution produces a blue-black color when reacted with native starch, due to the formation of polyiodide chains. The color reaction indicates the level of starch hydrolysis, with blue-black showing intact starch and lack of color showing complete hydrolysis. The test can also distinguish between amylose, amylopectin, and hydrolysis products based on subtle color variations.
