B. Color Reactions (Use 2mL of the Protein solution)
1. Biuret test - Mix 2mL of egg albumin solution with 1mL of dilute NaOH and 10 drops of diluted
CuSO4 solution in a test tube. Shake well. Note the change in color.
2. Millon's test - To 2mL egg albumin, add 10 drops of Millon's reagent. Shake well and heat over a
water bath to boiling. Note the color change.
3. Hopkins-Cole test - To 5 drops of egg albumin solution, add 5 drops of glyoxylic acid. Carefully run
down 5 drops of conc. H₂SO4 on the side of the test tube. Note the color formed at the point of
contact between the two liquids.
4. Reduces Sulfur test - To 2mL of egg albumin solution in a test tube, add 1mL of 20% NaOH and
10 drops of 10% Lead acetate solution. Cover the test tube with a cork and boil in a water bath for
two minutes. Observe the color change and explain.
