Here's a table describing the tests for starch, glucose, lipids, proteins, and vitamin C: Test for — Reagent — Procedure — Positive Observation — ConclusionStarch — Iodine solution — Add 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 solution — Add 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. Lipids — Ethanol, then water — Add ethanol to the sample and shake well. Then, add an equal volume of water. — A cloudy white emulsion forms. — Lipids are present. Proteins — Biuret 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 C — DCPIP (2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol) solution — Add DCPIP solution drop by drop to the sample, shaking after each drop. — The blue DCPIP solution is decolorized (turns colorless). — Vitamin C is present.
