Unit 1 Flashcards
, What is the test for
reducing sugars?
QUESTION
Heat with Benedict's in
water bath for 5 minutes
Insoluble Cu2O red
precipitate
Turns orange-brown
ANSWER
, How is the Benedict's
test semi-quantitative?
QUESTION
Difference in colour
shows the approximate
concentration of
reducing sugar in the
sample
ANSWER
, What is the test for
non-reducing sugars?
QUESTION
Perform reducing sugars test given
negative result
Heat with dilute HCl in water bath for 5
minutes to hydrolyse the disaccharides
into monosaccharides
Neutralise with NaHCO3 as Benedict's
does not work in acidic conditions
Heat with Benedict's, if non reducing
sugars were initially present reducing
sugars will be now and will give orange-
brown colour
