Starch is a carbohydrate.
It is found in plants. Green plants make carbohydrates through photosynthesis.
Starch is in many foods but it can also be found in other things as
well. We carried out an experiment to test for starch. Equipment needed: tincture of iodine, water, measuring jug, small dropper bottles, samples for testing- apple, potato, bread, tortilla wrap, pasta, plastic cup, paper, biscuit. |
|
 |
With the water bottles we added a few drops of iodine solution to each of the items and observed the changes of the colour of the iodine (if any). | |
 |
This potato contains starch as the colour started to change to blue- black. | |
 |
This tortilla wrap contained so much starch that it immediately turned blue- black when iodine solution was added. | |
 |
Bread is a very good source of starch. | |
 |
We discovered that there is starch in so many things, even paper!! | |
