Mục tiêu

Dùng thử nghiệm iot để nhận biết tinh bột trong các mẫu thực phẩm khác nhau và hiểu cơ sở phân tử của phức màu xanh đen.

Bối cảnh

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.

Thiết bị

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

Quy trình

1

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

5 phút
2

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

3 phút
3

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

3 phút
4

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

10 phút
5

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

Kết quả dự kiến

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.

Dọn dẹp

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