Here's a table describing the tests for starch, glucose, lipids, proteins, and vitamin C:

Test forReagentProcedurePositive ObservationConclusion
StarchIodine solutionAdd a few drops of iodine solution to the sample.Solution changes from yellow-brown to blue-black.Starch is present.
Glucose (Reducing Sugars)Benedict's solutionAdd Benedict's solution to the sample and heat in a water bath.Solution changes from blue to green, yellow, orange, or a brick-red precipitate.Reducing sugar (e.g., glucose) is present.
LipidsEthanol, then waterAdd ethanol to the sample and shake well. Then, add an equal volume of water.A cloudy white emulsion forms.Lipids are present.
ProteinsBiuret reagent (Sodium hydroxide solution + Copper(II) sulfate solution)Add sodium hydroxide solution to the sample, then add a few drops of copper(II) sulfate solution.Solution changes from blue to violet/purple.Proteins are present.
Vitamin CDCPIP (2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol) solutionAdd DCPIP solution drop by drop to the sample, shaking after each drop.The blue DCPIP solution is decolorized (turns colorless).Vitamin C is present.
