    The investigation was carried out to explore the effect of amylase on the starch that is present in a substance. The IKI solution reacts with starch to give a dark blue color.

    We wait 10 minutes before adding the IKI solution to give the amylase sufficient time to act on the starch present, so that a false negative for the presence of starch is not obtained.
