Biochemical Tests: Lipids

  • The emulsion test can be carried out quickly and easily in a lab to determine if a sample contains lipids

  • Lipids are nonpolar molecules that do not dissolve in water but will dissolve in organic solvents such as ethanol

Apparatus

  • Test tubes

  • Test tube rack

  • Ethanol

  • Pipettes

  • Food sample

  • Mortar and pestle (if food sample is solid)

  • Water

  • Gloves

Method

  • Add ethanol to the sample to be tested

  • Shake to mix

  • Add the mixture to a test tube of water

2.1 Emulsion test_2, downloadable AS & A Level Biology revision notes

The Emulsion test for lipids forms a milky colour

Results

  • If lipids are present, a milky emulsion will form (the solution appears ‘cloudy’); the more lipid present, the more obvious the milky colour of the solution

  • If no lipid is present, the solution remains clear

Limitations

  • This test is qualitative – it does not give a quantitative value as to how much lipid may be present in a sample
