Key Stage 3

Meaning

Starch is a complex carbohydrate found in food.

About Starch

Starch is made of many glucose molecules bonded together.
Starch is an important part of a balanced diet.

Starch Molecule

StarchMolecule.png
A starch molecule made of many smaller glucose molecules.

Starch in Foods

Foods with lots of starch:
Bread.png
Pasta.png
Potato.png
Rice.png
Bread makes part of a balanced diet because it has a lot of starch used for energy. A balanced diet might contain pasta as it is mostly starch. Potatoes are full of starch. Rice is mostly starch with very few other nutrients.

Testing for Starch

Starch can be detected using Iodine Solution.
Method
1. A small sample of food is placed on a spotting tile.
2. A drop of Iodine Solution is added to the food sample.
3. If the Iodine Solution turns from orange to blue-black then the food contains starch.
IodineStarch.png
Iodine Solution is an orange liquid. When the Iodine Solution is added to starch the Iodine Solution turns from orange to blue-black.

Key Stage 4

Meaning

Starch is a polysaccharide found in food.

About Starch

Starch is a polymer made of many glucose monomers which join together in a polymerisation reaction.
Starch is an important part of a balanced diet.
Starch can be broken down into shorter chains by amylase.

Starch Molecule
