Biochemical 
Tests 
describe how to carry out chemical 
tests to identify the presence of the 
following molecules: protein (biuret 
test), reducing and non-reducing 
sugars (Benedict’s test), starch (iodine 
solution) and lipids (emulsion test);
Protein (biuret test) 
1. Add sample to a test tube. 
2. Add sodium hydroxide and shake to mix. 
3. Add a small amount of copper sulphate 
drop by drop, shaking between each 
addition. 
4. Positive result shown by 
mauve
Reducing sugars (Benedict’s test) 
1. Add sample to a test tube 
2. Add Benedict’s solution and put in a 
water bath. 
3. Positive test will show a brick red and a 
range of colours between depending on 
amount.
Non - reducing sugars (Benedict’s 
test), 
1. Add sample to a test tube 
2. Add HCl to hydrolyse any non-reducing 
sugars and put in a water bath. 
3. Add sodium hydrogencarbonate to the 
tube and wait for the fizzing to stop. 
4. Add Benedicts Solution
Starch (iodine solution) 
1. Add sample to a 
well in a spotting 
tile 
2. Add iodine 
solution to the 
well 
3. Positive result will 
show a colour 
change from 
orange to black
Lipids (emulsion test) 
1. Add sample to a test tube 
2. Add ethanol and shake well to mix. 
3. Fill a second test tube about two-thirds 
full of water. 
4. Pour the ethanol mixture onto the water 
5. A positive result will 
be shown by a cloudy 
white precipitate
