About Testing Food for Nutrients:
This Kit will help students understand the importance of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids in living organisms. They will learn to identify a positive test result for proteins using biuret reagent and examine the reaction between Benedict’s reagent and a simple sugar. Using iodine/potassium iodide they will test for the presence of starch and test for the presence of lipids using a fat-soluble dye.
Kit includes:
- 25mL Iodine/Potassium Iodide Solution
- 25mL Biuret Reagent
- 25mL Benedict’s Solution
- 25mL Sudan III Stain, 1.0%
- 25mL Vegetable Oil
- 10g Soluble Starch
