  2. Iodine–starch test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine–starch_test

    The cut surface of an apple stained with iodine, indicating a starch level of 4–5. The iodine–starch test is a chemical reaction that is used to test for the presence of starch or for iodine. The combination of starch and iodine is intensely blue-black. [1] [2] The interaction between starch and the triiodide anion (I − 3) is the basis ...

  3. Benedict's reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict's_reagent

    Generally, Benedict's test detects the presence of aldehyde groups, alpha-hydroxy-ketones, and hemiacetals, including those that occur in certain ketoses. In example, although the ketose fructose is not strictly a reducing sugar, it is an alpha-hydroxy-ketone which results to a positive test because the base component of Benedict converts it ...

  4. Minor test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_test

    The Minor test (also known as Minor's test, the starch–iodine test, and the iodine–starch test), described by Victor Minor in 1928, [1] is a qualitative medical test that is used to evaluate sudomotor function (perspiration or sweating).

  5. Falling number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_Number

    The mixing ensures the gelatinization is homogeneous in the slurry, crucial for consistent test results. An additional effect of the high temperature is that the alpha-amylase enzyme contained in the grain begins to break the starch down into glucose and maltose, thereby reducing the viscosity of the slurry. The amount of starch break-down is ...

  6. Iodometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodometry

    The iodometric titration is a general method to determine the concentration of an oxidising agent in solution. In an iodometric titration, a starch solution is used as an indicator since it can absorb the I 2 that is released, visually indicating a positive iodine-starch test with a deep blue hue. This absorption will cause the solution to ...

  7. Farinograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farinograph

    A baker can formulate end products by using the farinograph's results to determine the following: [citation needed] Water absorption; Dough viscosity, including peak water to gluten ratio prior to gluten breakdown; Peak mixing time to arrive at desired water/gluten ratio; The stability of flour under mixing; The tolerance of a flour's gluten

  8. α-Amylase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α-Amylase

    The starch iodine test, a development of the iodine test, is based on colour change, as α-amylase degrades starch and is commonly used in many applications. A similar but industrially produced test is the Phadebas amylase test, which is used as a qualitative and quantitative test within many industries, such as detergents, various flour, grain ...

  9. Molecular gastronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_gastronomy

    The creation of the discipline of molecular gastronomy was intended to bring together what had previously been fragmented and isolated investigations into the chemical and physical processes of cooking into an organized discipline within food science, to address what the other disciplines within food science either do not cover, or cover in a ...
