THE BIURET TEST

AIM - To test if a sample of food contains protein

METHOD - 1) Place about 2 ml of the sample into a test tube and add 5 drops of sodium hydroxide
                     2) add 5 drops of cooper sulfate
                     3) shake the test tube gently from side to side

RESULT - If the solution remained blue then no protein is present
                  our solution remained blue but we know that there is protein. We did it wrong :(

THE IODINE TEST

AIM - To test is a sample of food contains complex sugars.

METHOD - 1) place about 2 ml of the sample in a test tube
                     2) Add 3-5 drops of iodine mix

RESULTS - If complex sugars (i.e. starch) are present the iodine solution will change from a brown colour to a blue/black colour.

DISCUSSION - It changed colour so the bread (food sample) does contain complex sugars

THE BENEDICT'S TEST

AIM - To test a sample of food to determine whether it contains simple sugars

METHOD - 1) Place about 2 ml of sample into a test tube and then at 5 drops of Benedict's solution
                     2) Heat with a Bunsen until it changes colour. DO NOT BOIL


RESULTS - A positive test for a simple sugar results in the Benedict's solution changing from a blue
                     colour to a orange colour. No colour change is a negative result

DISCUSSION - the apple changed colour so it means it does have simple sugars
