7N test a McDonalds

In this lesson about nutrition the pupils are testing a Big Mac meal to see if it contains certain food types. 
Is there any sugar? The Benedict's test will show us. 
Any fat? Look for an emulsion after adding drops of water to the filtrate. 
Protein shows as dark blue or pink. 
There must be starch in the bun. 
Watch this space for the results.
