Starch Indicator

A starch indicator is a chemical tool used in laboratories to detect the presence of starch. When added to a substance, it interacts with starch molecules and produces a blue-black color if starch is present. This is useful in food testing, chemical reactions, or biological experiments to confirm or monitor the presence of starch. The test is quick, specific, and easy to interpret, making it a common method for analyzing whether starch is in a sample or has been broken down during processes like digestion or cooking.
