Iodine Test: A chemical test used to detect the presence of starch in a sample.
Iodine solution is applied to the sample to observe a color change.
Positive Result for Starch: When iodine turns black or blue-black after application, indicating starch presence.
This color change confirms starch is present in the tested material.
Starch: A carbohydrate stored in plants as an energy reserve.
A polysaccharide composed of glucose units.
Iodine Solution: A reagent containing iodine and potassium iodide, used in starch testing.
It reacts with starch molecules to produce a color change.
Control Sample: A sample known to contain or not contain starch, used to compare results.
Ensures the accuracy of the test.
