 Introduction
Our group have bought a can of
condensed milk ( 煉奶 ) to test for
the presence of glucose, reducing
sugar, starch, fats, proteins and
vitamin C by different food tests.
 Preparation
We opened the can of condensed
milk and pour the contents into a
beaker until the beaker is 50mL full.
Then add some water to dilute the
milk. The condensed milk used in the
tests are taken from here by using
dropper.
 Preparation
Materials prepared
1 test tube rank 1 can of condensed milk
1 beaker 1 bottle of Benedict’s solution
1 spot plate 1 bottle of DCPIP solution
1 boiling water bath 1 bottle of iodine solution
1 tube of cooking oil 1 bottle of distilled water
2 filter papers 2 droppers
2 Albustix papers 2 Clinistix papers
10 test tubes
 Tests order
Test for glucose

Test for reducing sugars

Test for fats

Test for starch

Test for vitamin C

Test for proteins

 First Test: Test for glucose
Steps:
1. Transfer a drop of condensed milk
to the well of a spot plate. Also
add another drop of distilled water
to another well of the spot plate,
which is used as a control.
 First Test: Test for glucose
Steps:
2. Dip the test end of a Clinistix
paper into the sample and observe
any colour change.
 First Test: Test for glucose
Result:
The colour changed from yellow to
light green. After test for water (Original colour)

 Second Test: Test for reducing
sugars
Steps:
1. Mix equal volumes of condensed
milk and Benedict’s solution in a
test tube. Also prepare another
test tube contains mixture of
distilled water
and Benedict’s
solution.

Second Test: Test for reducing
sugars
Steps:
2. Put the test tubes into a boiling
water bath. Boil the mixture for 5
minutes and observe any change
in the mixture.
Second Test: Test for reducing
sugars
Steps:
3. Stand the test
tubes in a test
tube rank for
15 minutes.
 Second Test: Test for reducing
sugars
Result:
The colour changed from light
blue to orange.

 Third Test: Test for fats
Steps:
1. Transfer a drop of condensed milk
to a filter paper and another drop
of distilled water. Let the two
papers dry in
the air for 5
minutes.
 Third Test: Test for fats
Steps:
2. Put the two papers under the light.
Observe any translucent spot.
 Third Test: Test for fats
Result:
The condensed milk spot becomes
translucent.

 Fourth Test: Test for starch
Steps:
1. Transfer a drop of condensed milk
to the well of a spot plate. Also
transfer a drop of distilled water to
another well of the spot plate.
 Fourth Test: Test for starch
Steps:
2. Add a drop of iodine solution to
the sample and observe any colour
change.
 Fourth Test: Test for starch
Result:
There is no visible change.

 Fifth Test: Test for vitamin C
Steps:
1. Add a few drops of DCPIP solution
in two test tubes.
 Fifth Test: Test for vitamin C
Steps:
2. Add in same amount of condensed
milk. Stir them well then. Also add
another tube of distilled water.
 Fifth Test: Test for vitamin C
Steps:
3. Put the test tubes in a boiling
water bath for 5 minutes. Then put
them into a beaker of cool water.
 Fifth Test: Test for vitamin C
Result:
The solution change from blue into
light blue.

 Sixth Test: Test for proteins
Steps:
1. Transfer a drop of condensed milk
to the well of a spot plate. Also
add distilled water to another well
of the spot plate
 Sixth Test: Test for proteins
Steps:
2. Dip the test of an Albustix paper
into the sample and observe any
colour change.
 Sixth Test: Test for proteins
Result:
The Albustix paper turns from
yellow to light green.
