#) Identifying Carbohydrates (First inital and last name of lab partner) Purpose The purpose of this lab is to learn how to identify different forms of carbohydrates by conducting the Benedict and Iodine test. Theory The theory for this concept is that if in the benedicts test the carbohydrate reacts‚ it is a monosaccharide. If it reacts in the Iodine test it is a polysaccharide. If no reaction occurs in either test the carbohydrate is a disaccharide. Data Type of carbohydrate | Benedicts Test

which usually results in folding of the protein into a specific three-dimensional structure that determines its activity. What is starch?2 Starch is a carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds. This polysaccharide is produced by most green plants as an energy store. It is the most common carbohydrate in human diets and is contained in large amounts in such staple foods as potatoes‚ wheat‚ maize (corn)‚ rice‚ and cassava. Its presence or absence in samples

what are carbohydrates and what is the function of carbohydrates in the body? And secondly‚ what is meant by a low carb diabetic diet? The function of carbohydrates is to provide your body with it’s main source of energy. Your body will either use that energy straight away or store it for later. Carbohydrates are recognised as one of the most important influences on blood sugar levels. Many people with diabetes have found that eating a low carb diabetic diet helps them to control

Identification of Unknown Carbohydrates using various biochemical tests Date of experiment: 11/10/2012 Name of Student: Vicki Marshall Introduction A series of biochemical tests was carried out to identify unknown carbohydrates. There were six carbohydrates that needed to be identified; they have been randomly labelled A-F. The carbohydrates are glucose‚ fructose‚ maltose‚ lactose‚ sucrose and starch. There was six tests that were carried out to help identify them‚ these were: Iodine Test

billions of living microorganisms and is usually defined as a microbial supplement with beneficial effects on consumers. Most of the probiotics fall into the group of organisms known as the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and are normally produce through fermentation process. These strains are also known for its therapeutic effects because they are the predominant indigenous microorganisms (Gregor Reid‚ 2007). According to the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO)‚ these living bacteria that when administered
