The practical on testing the presence of carbohydrates in peanuts proved out to be more then that. I had stained many sections using iodine solution. While exploring through foldscope, one of the sections showed fungal hyphae. The peanuts which looked fine and healthy from outside and good to eat had a pathogen hidden in it.
