The Apple Starch Iodine Test

We tested three different apples for the iodine test, to figure out which apple was oldest.  The first apple was a Gala apple, the second apple was a JonaGold, the third apple was a Granny Smith.  

These are the pictures of the three different apple types that we tested using iodine. Don't worry, we didn't eat the sides that you are looking at!

Apple 1 - #6 on 1-9 scale
This apple was the middle-aged one

Apple 2 - #4 on 1-9 scale
This apple was the youngest

Apple 3 - #8 on 1-9 scale
This apple was the oldest

The three apples did taste the way you would expect them to.  The oldest apple was very tart because it is a tart kind of apple.  But it was also very mushy and grainy in the texture.  The middle aged apple was a little mushy, but not too bad.  It just was not very crisp and the flavor was kind of medium sour.  The youngest apple tasted fine.  It was crisp and delicious.
