Lab 2: Proteins and Starches
Protein and Starch Detection in Various Solutions
Test 1: Proteins
hypothesis If I test DI water, milk, 50% egg white solution, and 1% sucrose, then the milk and egg white solution will show the presence of protein, while DI water and the 1% sucrose will not. Given that distilled water typically lacks macromolecules, I would guess that it will not contain protein. Since milk and eggs are known to be a source of protein, it is expected that both will test
positive. The 1% sucrose is a simple sugar therefore I expect that it would lack protein.
purpose The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the presence of proteins in various solutions. The
solutions used in this experiment are distilled water, milk, 50% egg white solution, and 1% sucrose solution. The protein indicator utilized in this experiment is Biuret reagent. This test will help in understanding the effectiveness of the reactant in detecting protein macromolecules in diverse liquid substances.
methods materials:
test tube rack
four to five test tubes
transfer pipette
protective glasses
three pieces of paper bag
deionized water (DI water)
evaporated milk
50% egg white solution
1% sucrose solution
biuret reagent
method:
1.
Label test tubes with a wax pencil.
2.
Add three milliliters of each substance to each test tube. (one substance in one tube)
3.
Add five drops of the reagent to each of the test tubes.
4.
Swirl to mix.
5.
Record the results.
results
In this experiment, the
biuret reagent was used to test the presence of proteins in four different solutions. The solutions that tested negative for proteins were distilled water and the 1% sucrose solution. Both showed no color change indicating negative results. The solutions that tested positive for proteins were 50% egg white solution and evaporated milk. Both solutions showed a color change to purple confirming a positive result for proteins.
conclusion This experiment supported the initial hypothesis: “If I test DI water, milk, 50% egg white solution, and 1% sucrose, then the milk and egg white solution will show the presence of protein,
while DI water and the 1% sucrose will not.” As the tested substances were highly predictable, the test results were exactly as expected. This test confirmed the Biuret solution's ability to detect
the presence of protein in solutions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test 2: Starches hypothesis statement
If I test the test tubes containing DI water, 1% starch solution, onion juice, and 1% sucrose solution, then the 1% starch solution will show presence of starch, while DI water, onion juice, 1% sucrose solution will test negative for starch.
Given that distilled water typically lacks macromolecules, my guess would be that it will not contain starch. Along with distilled water, onion juice and 1% sucrose solution typically do not contain starch therefore they will also test negative for starch. 1% starch solution obviously has starch in it so it will test positive for starch.
purpose statement
The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the presence of starches and various solutions. The solutions tested in this experiment are DI water, 1% sucrose solution, 1% starch solution, and onion juice. The starch indicator utilized in this experiment is iodine also known as

You're an undercover biological weapons agent who has been given an unknown liquid - you suspect that it is just sugar water (because you drank some by accident - you know you're not supposed to have food or drink in the lab, but you do it all the time, and it tasted sweet - plus you didn't die!) One of the tests you need to run is to see if it contains protein (remember, foreign proteins can cause severe immune responses which can be a powerful biological weapon). You set up 3 test tubes each with 10mL of the following: distilled water, gelatin solution and the unknown.
The distilled water is clear, the gelatin solution is clear with a beige tint, and the unknown is clear.
You use Biuret's Reagent - a dark blue dye which will turn a liquid sample purple in the presence of protein.
1. When Biuret's Reagen is added to the unknown, predict what color you expect it to become if the unknown is just sugar water: [a] (no change | blue | purple).
2.You included both a positive and negative…
