Hot water bath (for test of simple sugars)

Test common foods for presence of nutrients, quantitatively determine Vitamin C in foods and standardize all tests.

Working in teams, students are asked to test for, and identify, five classes of nutrients: sugar, starch, lipid, protein, and Vitamin C. Once the tests have been completed and their observations have been made, students are then asked to draw conclusions about their results, the controls, and samples that showed no reaction. It is necessary to have a hot water bath available for the test of simple sugars. This kit has a limited shelf-life. Includes Teacher guide, student sheets, assessment questions and SDS.
