How would you test the presence of starch in leaves?

Answer»

We could easily test the presence of starch by Iodine test.


First, we have to remove the CHLOROPHYLL from the leaf by boiling it in alcohol.


After boiling the leaf we have to add TWO DROPS of iodine SOLUTION.


If the color of the leaf changes to blue, this is the perfect indication that there is the presence of starch.
