Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Starch, a carbohydrate , can be identified by a positive iodine test. A few drops of iodine solution are added to a raw or boiled sample of the substance suspected of containing starch. If starch is present, the substance will turn blue-black in the area where the iodine solution touches it.
