Forensic Food Analysis Conclusions

• Macromolecule tests indicated that all four
  victims consumed an appetizer containing glucose
  because the Benedict's reagent turned orange when
  investigating their stomach contents.

2

• The only appetizer that contained glucose
  monomers was the candied sugar cocktail,
  therefore, it must be concluded that this was the
  poisoned food.

3

• The candied sugar cocktail was prepared by Jim
  Lockpicker so he must be the person who poisoned
  the Parker's Party.

4

• This lab allowed us to conduct tests for the
  monomers and forms of three of the four major
  macromolecules (SB1c).
• Benedict's glucose monomers of carbohydrates
• Lugol's Iodine starch form of carbohydrate
• Biuret amino acid monomers of proteins

If a macromolecule were a train, then the cars on
the train would be the monomers.
5

• Macromolecules are polymers made of monomers.
• Macromolecules are bigger molecules made of
  smaller pieces called monomers.
