Record Results for Macromolecules Lab Sample Monosaccharide (Benedict’s Test) Starch (IKI Test) Protein (Biuret Test) Lipid (Sudan IV Test) Positive Control *Glucose did not react successfully; a positive result would have shown a dark red color* Starch: Reacted strongly with the IKI reagent, became a bluish black. Egg White: This solution became a dark violet shade, showing that a protein-rich solution should display a strong purple hue Canola/Salad Oil: The red reagent separated to the top layer of the liquid, clearly displaying the top layer of lipids and a positive result. Negative Control Water: A light blue solution, transparent in appearance, shows a clear negative result. Water: Became slightly yellow but no darkening was seen. A solution without starch should remain light possibly with a yellow tint. Water: The water remained light blue, showing a solution with a lack of protein will not become darker or become purple. Water: The reagent remained distributed throughout the solution, displaying a clear negative result. Unknown 1 Unknown 1: Mild positive, bright green appearance. Unknown 1: Did not react, looks identical to the Unknown 1: Became a greyish color with no blue Unknown Solution 1 : (Theory is white vinegar) shows a
This shows there are more than traces of reducing sugars but there are not “moderate” results. negative control. or purple hues. Has been interpreted as negative and the color is believed to be because of the initial color of the unknown solution. negative result with the same distribution as the control negative test. This shows this unknown is not lipid heavy. Unknown 2 Unknown 2: Slightly opaque dark green, traces of reducing sugars present. Unknown 2: Became dark, almost purple color. Shows there is starch present but not as much as the positive control. Unknown 2: Became a dark purple color showing a positive result. Unknown 2: Negative as well, showing a consistent distribution of the reagent throughout the solution. Unknown 3 Unknown 3: Milky white and opaque, a small amount of blue present due to the reagent. Unknown 3: Did not react, remained light in color with no color shift other than the slight yellows shown in the other negative results. Unknown 3: Due to the milky color of the original solution, the reagent has turned the solution to a light purple color. This is interpreted as a positive result. Unknown 3 : Has become a light pink color, mixing the milky appearance of the unknown and the reagent has distributed evenly throughout the solution.
