Qualitative Testing for Lipids, Carbohydrates, Starch and Protein
In this module, you will run a series of qualitative tests, detecting different classes of (macro) molecules in food samples.
The tests are:
Sudan Red
– a simple way to detect lipids.
Samples to be tested are spotted onto a filter paper and dried. The filter is then
submerged in a solution of Sudan Red, which will stain the lipid components in the sample spots.
A positive test will be indicated by
the presence of a red stained sample spot – the darker the red, the higher the lipid concentration in the spotted sample.
Benedict’s
– a simple way to detect reducing sugars.
Example: glucose. Requires the presence of an aldehyde group. Blue Cu++ ions
are reduced to reddish-brown Cu+ ions; a precipitate can also be formed.
Different colors indicate different concentrations of sugars
present.
Iodine
– a simple way to detect starch. As used in previous modules.
Biuret
– a simple way to detect protein. As used in previous modules.

Specific instructions:
Part 1:
Each group will first perform the Sudan red test.
WEAR GLOVES.
Label the filter paper supplied with a pencil (
the Sudan Red dye is dissolved in alcohol which will remove ball point
pen ink), indicating group number and sample positions.
Spot a small amount of sample in separate spots, similar to the example shown below:
Dry under heat gun for a few minutes.
Submerge in solution of Sudan Red dye for 5 minutes: pour Sudan Red from tube into the petri dish over filter
paper
Half and half
Wearing gloves, remove filter into beaker of water to rinse for a few minutes.
Take filter out of water and let dry on paper towel.
Analyze sample staining, using “+++”, “+”, “-“ etc, as before.
Record your results in the table.
Part 2:
Benedict’s test:
Clearly label six 13x100 glass tubes with the name of the food sample
Mix 5 drops of sample with 5 drops of Benedict’s reagent
Incubate the tubes for 5 minutes in the 80 degrees C waterbath – HOT - careful!
Remove tubes to bench and let cool
Read and record the results, using the “+++”,
“++”,
“-“ scale as above
Biuret and Iodine test:
Clearly label twelve 13x100 glass tubes with (1) name of food sample and (2) testing reagent
Mix 5 drops of sample and 5 drops of either Iodine or Biuret reagent
Read and record the results, using the “+++”, “++”, “-“ scale as above
The goal is for each student to fill in result table #1 below.
Report:
Filled in result tables 1 and 2.
In a short paragraph, also describe the results in table 2.
Answer the following questions:
1.
What is the common feature for the Benedict’s and Biuret tests?
2.
Is the iodine-starch complex formation based on covalent bonds?
3.
Why can a disaccharide be a reducing sugar?

) In Chapter 8 (The Water Soluble Vitamins), section 8.1 (What are Vitamins) discusses Absorption, Storage and Excretion of Vitamins, both water- and fat-soluble. How readily a vitamin can be absorbed and utilized by the body is called its bioavailability. Fat-soluble vitamins require _fat__in the diet for absorption while water soluble vitamins, which include all B vitamins and vitamin ______, dissolve in water and depend on energy-requiring transport systems or need to be bound to specific molecules in the GI tract in order to be absorbed in the small intestine. Once absorbed into the blood, vitamins must be transported to the cells, mostly by being bound to _________________________ for transport. Fat soluble vitamins, which include vitamins ______, ________, _________ and _______ are incorporated into ___________________ for transport from the intestine. With the exception of vitamin B12, the water-soluble vitamins are easily excreted from the body in the urine. In contrast,…

A 1 mL sample of glycogen was calculated to contain 21 µmol (micromole) glucose. To 1 mL of this sample was added 2 mL of 2 M HCl. It was then hydrolysed by boiling the solution for 15 minutes. After boiling the hydrolysate was cooled and made up with H2O to a final volume of exactly 10 mL. The glucose was measured in this solution and found to have a concentration of 340 µg/mL (microgram/milliliter).
i) Calculate the mass (mg) of glucose in the 10 mL of hydrolysate. As the 1 mL of glycogen sample was made up to a final volume of 10 mL, this mass of glucose was produced by the hydrolysis of the original 1 mL glycogen sample.
ii) Calculate the amount (µmol) of glucose produced by the hydrolysis of the glycogen sample.
iii) Calculate the purity of the glycogen used in the sample as
% Purity = (moles of measured glucose/ moles of calculated glucose in glycogen) *100
iv) state your answer in a complete sentence.

consumption is how the quantity is conveyed to the
consumer. For example, American malt liquor can be sold
pure ethanol:
mL
in 23.5 fl. oz. (695 mL) cans and is 12% volume per volume
(v/v) ethanol.
Although these cans are labeled as containing multiple
servings, many young people consider one can to be a
single serving. Drinking two cans of this beverage can
result in an accidental overdose of ethanol.
Two cans may not seem like much until you do the math.

1. Penicillin is hydrolyzed and thereby rendered inactive penicillinase, an enzyme present in some
penicillin-resistant bacteria. The molecular weight of this enzyme in Staphylococcus aureus is 29.6 kilo
Daltons (29.6 kg/mole or 29,600 g/mole or 29,600 ng/nmole) The amount of penicillin hydrolyzed in 2
minute in a 10-mL solution containing 109 g (1 ng) of purified penicillinase was measured as a function
of the concentration of penicillin. Assume that the concentration of penicillin does not change
appreciably during the assay. [Hint: Convert everything to the same concentration terms]
Show all calculations and include spreadsheets and graphs to determine Km, Vmax and kcat for this
enzyme. Make sure your final answers have correct units.
[Another hint: Note that [S] and amount hydrolyzed are already in concentration terms. So you don't
need to worry about the volume for calculating [S] and V. ]

What is the purpose of the ion exchange resin?
A. The ion exchange resin removes Ca2+ and Mg2+ out of hard water to make it soft.
B. The ion exchange resin takes out Ca2+ and gets rid of Na which makes the hard water softer.
C. The ion exchange resin replaces the Ca2+ and Mg2+ in hard water with Na+ ions so the cleansing properties of the soap are retained.
D. The ion exchange resin increases the amount of foam because it made the solution softer instead of hard water and you get more foam with soft water.
