This page outlines the iodine solution starch test steps for detecting starch in food samples. The test is particularly useful for identifying starch in foods like pasta, rice, and potatoes. The procedure is simple and relies on the distinctive color change when iodine reacts with starch.
To conduct the iodine test for starch, follow these steps
Highlight If starch is present in the sample, the color of the solution will change from browny-orange to black or blue-black.
Vocabulary Iodine solution - A chemical reagent that turns dark blue or black in the presence of starch.
Example When testing a sample of cooked pasta, if the iodine solution turns blue-black upon contact, it confirms the presence of starch in the pasta.
This page describes the Sudan III lipids test method used to detect the presence of lipids in food samples. This test is particularly effective for identifying lipids in foods such as olive oil, margarine, and milk. The procedure involves using Sudan III stain solution and observing the separation of layers in the test tube.
To perform the Sudan III test for lipids, follow these steps
Highlight If lipids are present in the sample, the mixture will separate into two distinct layers, with the top layer appearing bright red.
Vocabulary Sudan III Stain Solution - A fat-soluble dye used to detect the presence of lipids in a sample.
Example When testing a milk sample, if a separate bright red layer forms at the top of the liquid after adding Sudan III, it indicates the presence of lipids in the milk.
This page outlines the Biuret test procedure used to detect the presence of proteins in food samples. This test is particularly useful for identifying proteins in foods such as meat and cheese. The Biuret test relies on a color change reaction when the Biuret solution comes into contact with proteins.
To conduct the Biuret test for proteins, follow these steps
Highlight If proteins are present in the food sample, the solution will change from blue to pink or purple. If no protein is present, the solution will remain blue.
Vocabulary Biuret solution - A chemical reagent used to detect the presence of peptide bonds in proteins.
Example When testing a sample of cheese, if the Biuret solution turns purple after mixing, it confirms the presence of proteins in the cheese.
Definition Proteins - Large, complex molecules made up of amino acids that play crucial roles in the structure and function of cells in living organisms.
This page describes the Benedict's test procedure for glucose detection in food samples. The test is used to identify the presence of glucose in foods such as biscuits, cereal, and bread. The procedure involves preparing a food sample, using a water bath, and observing color changes in the test solution.
To perform the Benedict's test, follow these steps
Highlight The color change in the test tube indicates the presence and concentration of glucose. A green or yellow color suggests low concentrations of glucose, while a brick-red color indicates high concentrations.
Vocabulary Benedict's solution - A chemical reagent used to detect the presence of reducing sugars, such as glucose.
Example When testing a biscuit sample, if the solution turns brick-red after heating, it indicates a high concentration of glucose in the biscuit.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
