BTEC Applied Science Level 3 Unit 11 – Physiology Of Human Body Systems Part 4 – The Digestive System Task 4 – Use appropriate chemical tests to identify different dietary nutrients P5 Use appropriate chemical tests to identify different dietary nutrients Name:______________________________________________________ Student ID:_______________ Date:____________________ Notes: 1) Plagiarism (i.e. copying, cheating) will result in a fail! 2) When you have completed the task, a. Remove the staple! b. Scan the document c. Save the file in your “My Documents” d. Upload the file into Moodle e. Keep the paper copy filed safely as a backup 3) The deadline for completion is Sunday 24th November 2013. Late submissions cannot be awarded a grade other than a pass. 4) The labels have become detached from four containers. The labels indicate that the contents are soluble starch, sucrose (a non-reducing sugar), glucose (a reducing sugar), and albumin (a protein). Solutions have been made from samples of each container, and labelled A, B, C, and D. Use chemical tests to identify each solution. Be very careful not to cross contaminate the solutions! You should describe what you did at each stage in order to identify the compounds. Describe how you would test a sample of food to check for the presence of lipids, such as oils or fats. P5 First I collected four test tubes; in each test tube I purred the solution that has been labelled A, B, C, and D in the container. Then I added a few drops of Iodine solution to the four test tubes. Container A was starch, because the colour changed to blue black, which is test for starch. Starch iodine blue black I purred the three solutions into the sink. Then I purred the solution from the container B, C, and D in to the three
