Test for food substance in solid food substance ( Oreo

)1.Cut the food sample

into small pieces.

2.Put the small pieces into a mortar and grind with a small quantity of cool distilled water using the pestle.

A.Test for glucose using Clinistix paper1.Transfer a drop

of glucose solution to the well of a spot plate.

2. Dip the test end of a Clinistix paper into the sample and observe any colour change. Use distilled water as a control .

B. Test for reducing sugars using Bendict’s test

1.Mix equal volumes (e.g.1cm³)of glucose solution and Benedict’s solution in s test tube.

2.Put the test tube into a boiling water bath. Boil the mixture for 5 mins and observe any in the mixture.

3.Stand the test tube in a test tube rack for 15 mins and observe any change in the mixture again. Use distilled water as a control.

C. Test for starch using iodine test

1.Transfer a drop of starch solution to the well of a spot plate.

2.Add a drop of iodine solution to the sample and observe any colour change. Use distilled water as a control.

D. Test for fats using grease spot test

1.Transfer a drop of cooking oil to a filter paper and let it dry in the air for 5 mins

2.Hold up the filter paper to the light and observe any translucent spot

Page 13: Biology Oreo

3.Immerse the filter paper into a original solvent (e.g. ether, acetone).

4.Examine the filter paper against light again. Note any change in the filter paper. Use egg white solution and distilled water as controls.

F.Test for vitamin C using DCPIP solution

1.Put 1 cm3 of DCPIP solution in a test tube.

2.Add in vitamin C solution drop by drop. Stop when there is any persistent colour change.

3.Boil a test tube of 5cm3 of vitamin C solution in a boiling water bath for 5 mins. Allow the test to cool in a breaker of cold water.

4.Use the boiled vitamin C solution and distilled water as controls.

Apparatus & Materials used

• Test tube• Test tube holder• Filter paper• Filter funnel• Beaker• Mortar• Grind• Spot plate• Dropper• Measuring cylinder• Water boiling bath

• Oreo biscuits• Distilled Water• Clinistix paper• Bendict’s solution• Iodine solution• Albustix paper• DCPIP solution

Conclusion

• In our tests, Oreo has the reaction on:• Glucose (Clinistix paper) +ve• Reducing sugar (Benedict’s test) +ve• Starch (Iodine test) +ve• Fat (Grease spot test) -ve• Protein (Albustix paper) +ve

• Vitamim C(DCPIP solution) +ve

Page 24: Biology Oreo

Experimental Errors & Improvement

• Oreo should have positive result on fats. However, in our test, we have negative result since there is little amount of fat in Oreo.

• We need to be more careful in cleaning all the apparatus before we use them again. Eg.There is also colour change in our control (water).
