I just learnt them today aha idk whether I’ll remember them but I’ll try give something a go now.
Reducing sugars - benedicts - goes from blue to green to yellow to brick red. To remember: “reducing” means there are separate layers or a decrease so it goes through the colours?
Protein - Biuret - blue to purple I have nothing to protein but in my head protein is ugly and biuret doesn’t sound great but there’s alliteration.
Starch - iodine - orange to blue/black To remember: if you ever did the test in like year 7/8 with the onion. ‘Eye’ for iodine (eye-odine) will hurt if it’s in your eyes??
Lipids/fat - sudan - bright red layer (like a layer of fat?”
I have no other ideas of how to remember but maybe my crappy analogies might help haha good luck
I remeber is asSugar/Glucose is sweet and Benedict sounds sweetLipids/FAT needs a strong substance EthanolProtein uses Birute (both have te in them)then Startch and Iodine
I just used the mnemonic: So back (to) banging -bad religious- sluts in or below peoples back bedroom palacesSugar Benedict's blue -brick red-Starch Iodine orange blueProtein Beirut blue purple
Having trouble remembering the food tests so anything like an anagram would be helpful thanks.
Benedict's turns red, for sugary dread. Iodine goes black, with starch on the track. Emulsion turns white, fat takes flight. Biuret turns purple, protein's the hurdle. Flame test turns green, copper's the scene!
