Uji Pati-Iodin untuk Karbohidrat

Mendeteksi pati dalam sampel makanan menggunakan larutan iodin

Qualitative Analysis Beginner (Middle School) 30 menit ~$5,00

Tujuan

Gunakan uji iodin untuk mengidentifikasi pati dalam berbagai sampel makanan dan pahami dasar molekuler kompleks warna biru-hitam.

Latar Belakang

The starch-iodine test is one of the most visually striking qualitative tests in chemistry. Iodine (I₂) forms a deep blue-black complex with amylose, the helical component of starch. The iodine molecules slip inside the amylose helix, creating a charge-transfer complex that absorbs light strongly. This test does not work with simple sugars (glucose, sucrose) or with amylopectin alone, making it specific for amylose-containing starch.

Peringatan Keselamatan

  • Iodine solution stains skin and clothing
  • Do not taste any samples after adding iodine
  • Handle knife carefully when cutting food samples

APD yang Diperlukan

Bahan

  • Iodine solution (Lugol's) (10 mL)
    I₂/KI solution
  • Starch solution (1%) (10 mL)
    Positive control
  • Glucose solution (1%) (10 mL)
    Negative control
  • Food samples (Various)
    Potato, bread, rice, apple, etc.
  • Distilled water (50 mL)

Peralatan

Spot plate or small dishes Dropper pipettes Knife for cutting food samples White paper background

Prosedur

1

Place small amounts of each food sample and control solutions in separate wells of the spot plate.

5 menit
2

Add 2–3 drops of Lugol's iodine solution to the starch solution (positive control). Observe the blue-black color.

3 menit
3

Add 2–3 drops to the glucose solution (negative control). Observe that the color remains amber/brown.

3 menit
4

Add 2–3 drops of iodine to each food sample. Record the color change observed.

10 menit
5

Classify each sample as starch-positive (blue-black) or starch-negative (amber/brown). Record in a data table.

9 menit

Hasil yang Diharapkan

Potato, bread, and rice should test strongly positive (deep blue-black). Apple and pure sugar solutions should remain amber/brown. The intensity of the blue color correlates with starch content.

Pembersihan

Dispose of iodine-treated samples in general waste. Rinse spot plates and pipettes with water.
