Starch Test

The Starch Test is a simple way to determine if a substance, like a piece of food, contains starch. It involves exposing the sample to iodine solution, which is usually a yellow-brown liquid. If starch is present, the iodine reacts with it and turns a blue-black color. If there's no starch, the iodine remains its original color. This test helps identify starch presence in foods, helping in nutritional analysis and food preparation. It's quick, easy, and reliable for detecting starch content in various samples.
