15.) What kind of reaction occurs between Sudan III and hydrophobic substances?

Solution

Biological Molecules contain specific chemical structures called functional groups, which can be distinguished by biochemical tests, such as Benedict\'s Iodine, and Sudan III/IV.The Sudan III/IV test is used to detect the hydrocarbon chains of lipids. Sudan is a red, non-polar, dye that forms hydrophobic interactions with the hydrocarbon chains of lipids. Alternatively, the Brown Bag test can also be used to identify lipids due to the oily nature of hydrocarbon chains.
