A change of color to a blue-black or purple color suggests that starch is present. If there is no change in color, this suggests no starch is detectable. Note the change of the iodine to black on the potato (right) but not the apple (left). (10% Tincture of iodine.) Potato contains starch, but apple does not.
1 To test for starch: A standard test for starch uses iodine. 2  Because iodine is not very soluble in water the first step is to form an iodine reagent by dissolving iodine in water in the presence of potassium iodide, resulting in a linear triiodide ion complex-which is soluble and yellow/orange in colour. Lugol's Solution: An example of an iodine-based product that has been widely used in medicine is Lugol's iodine (developed by French physician Jean Guillaume Auguste Lugol in 1829). 2  This consists of 5 g iodine (I 2), 10 g potassium iodide (KI) and enough distilled water to form a brown solution total volume of 100 mL.
