Purpose: Test samples of food for the presence of organic molecules using 4 indicators.

Page 3: Organic Compounds in Food Lab.  Purpose: Test samples of food for the presence of organic molecules using 4 indicators

Procedure: Materials: 7 food sources, beakers,

pipettes, and 4 indicators: Benedict’s Solution – detects

glucose (simple sugar) Lugol’s Iodine Solution – detects

Starch (complex sugar) Biuret Solution – detects proteins Sudan IV – detects lipids (fats)

Procedures: At lab station

Page 4: Organic Compounds in Food Lab.  Purpose: Test samples of food for the presence of organic molecules using 4 indicators

Procedures – At lab station 1. Demo standards and record results in Data Table 1.

2. Make predictions.

3. Place approximately 5 mL of the first food substance in each of the 4 test tubes.

Conduct the 4 indicator tests as shown in the demo: 5 drops of each substance. Benedicts – hot

water 5 min

Record your results in Data Table 2.

Wash 4 test tubes and repeat with sample 2.

Repeat the above steps for all 7 substances.

Conclusion

1 to 2 paragraphs. Written in 3rd person (command) form, not in 1st person.

Discuss your Results: Which substances contain lipids, simple

sugars, starch, lipids and proteins? How was this determined? Describe the

4 tests and the qualitative results. Discuss any surprising or expected

results. Review your original predictions.

Procedures 1. Place approximately 5 mL of the first food

substance in each of the 4 test tubes.

2. Conduct the 4 indicator tests as shown in the demo: 5 drops of each substance. Benedicts should sit in water bath for 5

min.

3. Record your results in Data Table 2.

4. Wash 4 test tubes in the sink and repeat with the remaining 6 samples.
