what could the reason be that iodine did not turn blue-blak when i tested potato

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was testing potato for starch by using iodine solution. What could some reasons be that it did not turn blue or black?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

iodine solutions are supposed to change color in the presence of starch..potatoes have lots of starch so i don't know why the iodine didn't change color on your potato..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you use any other chemicals on your same potato or just that one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no just iodine

OpenStudy (anonymous):
