LAB DAY 3: Food with starch


STARCH
  • Is a complex carbohydrate (in spanish it means "almidón").
  • If we add idocline (such as lugol or betadine) in food and it turns black, it has starch; if it does not turns black, it doesn´t have starch.
We did an experiment to know if the ham had starch or not and we used three types of ham:
  • York (jamón york)
  • Cooked (jamón cocido)
  • All natural

In the experiment, we  added betadine to each type of ham. And then we could see:
  • York→ turned black so that means it cointained starch.
  • Cooked→ it stayed the same so it didn´t have starch.
  • All natural→ stayed the same so it didn´t have starch.
