Starch will form a deep blue color with the Iodine solution.
It is because starch contains amylose.
The iodine is able to form a large complex with the
amylose helix. Due to this, it will then absorb the light and
reflect the blue light only.
Iodine Clock Reaction
Amylopectin (and glycogen) are unable to assume a
stable helical conformation because of the branching. •
ANTHRONE TEST
WHAT IS ANTRONE TEST?
It is amylose.
EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE IN OBSERVATIONS NOTED
IN THE REACTION OF PLANT STARCH WITH IODINE
SOLUTION IN HOT TEMPERATURE AND AT ROOM
TEMPERATURE.
The reaction in the Iodine Test took time for the Iodine
solution to react with the amylose for the starch and
amylopectin for the glycogen.
