Delimiter between question and answer:

Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

What is the name of the tests for fats?
emulsion test
Steps for test for fats: 2-shake chopped food with ethanol to dissolve. 3-pour the ethanol into the water 1-if fat is present in the food the ethanol mixture will break up into millions of tiny droplets of fat(itll look white and opaque ⚪️)
