Sledge Dr.Draughon Bio 111 14 February 2016 Testing for Peptide Bonds in Solutions & Water using Biuret Reagent Abstract This experiment was performed to test an albumin solution, gelatin solution, glucose solution, water and an unknown solution for the presence of peptide bonds resulting in proteins through the use of biuret solution. 5mL of each solution was distributed …

The above reaction is a test of urea because on adding an alkaline solution of copper sulphate to white solid biuret, a violet colour is obtained.

Phenylalanine is an amino acid and does not contain peptide bonds within its structure. Therefore, phenylalanine will test negative in the biuret test. **(b) What color do you expect when phenylalanine is added to the biuret test?** - **Answer:** Since phenylalanine will test negative, there will be no color change expected in the biuret test.

An unknown liquid sample is tested for chemical composition. You receive the following results: iodine test = yellow; biuret test = purple; Benedict's test = red; and paper lipid test = clear. Which of the following are present in this sample? (Select all that apply) A. starch B. protein C. sugar D. lipids E. None of these are present.

Bluret test: When urea is heated just above its melting point it forms a compound called biuret which gives a violet colour with dilute copper sulphate in alkaline medium.

Correct option is C. proteins $$\text{The Biuret test is a chemical test used for detecting the presence of peptide bonds. indirectly protein}$$ as the proteins are made up of amino acids connected together with peptide bonds.

Transcribed Image Text: ### Food Testing for Nutrients **Topic:** Nutrition Testing in Foods Four foods were tested for fat (using ethanol), protein (using the biuret test), reducing sugar (using Benedict’s solution), and starch (using iodine solution). The goal is to identify which food contains both protein and starch.
